Mid Vancouver Island 'Ham' Facilities

In May 2007 we moved the 'EchoLink' server to the home of Bill, VE7EVS. We want to determine the capabilities of this technology so that we can decide if 'EchoLink' should be a permanent part of our community repeater.

We invite you to help us in assessing Echolink. Try it out and let us know what you think.

We hope you enjoy experimenting with Echolink as we work
out protocols for which the medium is well suited.
