Yeah, I need to figure out IRLP. I got a FT60 which has some modes
that are supposed to make IRLP easier. It's just a matter of reading
the instructions, no rocket science.


I don't do any IRLP. But I hear guys doing it
all the time on VHF and UHF. It's as simple as
five keypad strokes on your radio #XXXX where
(pound XXXX) where XXXX is the number of the
repeater you want to link to. Then you talk
just like it was next door to whoever you like
at the "foreign" station as well as the local
repeater stations. Then when you're finished
I think you hit "*" to disconnect. The
usual canned voice responses guide you through
"LINK ESTABLISHED" etc.

I hear guys all the time talking between LA
and Phoenix, Tucson and Phoenix, Denver and
Phoenix etc.

You could hit the Tonopah machine with your
1w HT, link to an autopatch somewhere, phone
Art Bell and tell him you were in an ultralight
over the NTS and about to be shot down.

The IRLP in Vegas is very active. Mostly geeks because you have
cellular coverage in Vegas.

I am amazed at how much faster the EDGE data access is in Vegas than
in the Bay Area. I swear the Bay Area locals are doing bit torrent
over cellular, while the Vegas crowd is too busy investing in the
casino coffers to use a phone, let alone data.

I got a kick out of this one:
