Echolink is a system that links internet users to local amateur radio repeater systems. Such a web/radio connection has many uses and interesting features. Recently, Pat WA4DSR has set up an Echolink system that connects the club's 2m repeater W8UM/R to the web. This has allowed stations far from Ann Arbor, MI to check in to the weekly UMARC 2m net via Echolink.
A more permanent Echolink connection is planned to connect the W8UM station (in the EECS building) to the W8UM/R repeater site (in the Dennison building on Central Campus) via a 440 MHz RF link. All of the equipment has been purchased, but much help is needed to assemble and configure the hardware and software.
