(USE ECHOLINK 96140 OR IRLP 9614) 0900 EST 3-4-10 The posting this week will be longer than usual as we have several announcements to make, a number of new staff members to introduce, and some comments on the new cell phone/Echolink buzz that is taking place. The TNT Open Forum effective this evening has moved its schedule time forward by 30 minutes and will be conducted at 8 PM EST (0100 Z). The subject for tonight purposely drifts away from the typical ham related agenda and will cover the do’s, don’ts and art of deep sea fishing. Our Guest this evening is Mr. George Torres KW4LCB who will share his experiences of over 25 years as a commercial fisherman particularly in the deep sea charter boat arena. Your Southcars support team has started working on a program to encourage new people to our hobby. This will primarily be focused on the youth of our world, but includes children of all ages. We proudly announce the appointment of Mr. Michael P. Asselta KD0CDQ to chair this new endeavor. Along with this appointment Southcars welcomes Mr. Craig W. Hodsdon N3MUI, Mr. G. Jeremiah Williamson WB9EIU, and Mr. Matt B. Israel as members of our Net Control staff. There is a buzz being heard from around the world. Recently free software has been released that enables the Apple iPone to communicate throughout the world via the Echolink VOIP network. Testimonials on this subject are shown below. WRITTEN BY: Mr. William B. Sowers K8WBS Echolink on the IPhone With the advent of the cell phone, Ham Radio was pushed further into the background as far as communications were concerned. People were now connecting continuously with voice and text and didn't see the need for the problems of getting a license and the expense of equipment. Only in an emergency situation, where an operator that could generate his own power, was Ham Radio truly called upon. The rest of the time it is just considered a hobby. As always, in a national emergency, Ham Radio will be used because nature, no matter how viscous, cannot keep operators from performing the communication function. Echolink on the computer has been a big plus for Ham Radio. As of today, Feb 24 2010, there have been over 500,000 downloads of Echolink for computers worldwide. Looking at the station summery as I type, right now there are 4,732 repeaters, links, users, and conference servers connected with the most being in the US at 2,143 but worldwide none the less. Add this to the normal number of operators communicating with their regular equipment at any given time and the numbers become massive. Now comes the marriage of the IPhone and Echolink. With the power of the IPhone it was bound to happen. (BTW, Echolink is a FREE app both on the computer and IPhone). There are over 100,000 apps written for the IPhone and Echolink is a natural. Now, ANYWHERE you have a cell phone signal, you can connect to any Echolink repeater and communicate just as though you were on your computer at home. I have talked locally (W8MOP) and to my buddies on SCARS in Florida to name a few. That is awesome. I have used it almost every day since I added it to my IPhone. Maybe Echolink on the IPhone will generate an interest in Ham Radio that it needs right now. It's a very easy setup and the program works perfectly but, as you might expect, there are some restrictions.

Brew K3WS Special operational note: On February 28, 2010 I (K3WS) used my Apple Iphone running the EchoLink Application (yes there is an App for that) connected to the N3YFO-R Echolink node (#295354) (which is connected to the 145.210 Cambria County Repeater) to check in to our Sunday night ARES RACES Net. I might also mention I was mobile traveling East on Rt. 70 out of Breezewood PA. I received excellent audio reports. I remained connected until I signed off and disconnected about 10 Miles from Fredrick MD. It seems that the Echolink App for Iphone allows a relay function that is not blocked by a firewall. It is a very nice way to use an Iphone like an HT. I plan on trying to work one of my HF remote base rigs from the Iphone in the future.

(USE ECHOLINK 96140 OR IRLP 9614) 1230 EDT 3-18-10 Your Southcars VOIP support team has reviewed our recent time change. It is in their judgment that all nets will remain within their previous local time segment, and only the Zulu time reference will be changed. There will be an awkward time frame during the next several weeks due to not all countries changing at the same time and date. Just simply remember that nothing has changed on our schedule times other than the actors! Please note that there has been a recent addition to our website home page. In the lower right column you will now find a new category called “Outreach Corner”. This area is under construction and will be devoted to the Southcars VOIP effort of stimulating interest to our hobby by youths of all ages. Your NCS team for tomorrows nets include: Roger W4RFJ during the first hour, Dana KB7DZM the second hour, David KD8HQU for the Pacific Coast Net, Dick KA8DCJ for the Eurasia Net, and John W8RAT for the Australia Net. It should be noted here, that the Australia Net now being conducted at 2000 Z, will most probably be moving to Sunday morning at 0100 Z (Saturday 9 PM EDT) on April 3rd. Should and if this is to take place, ample confirmation will be made available well in advance of the change.

By referring to the left side of the home page, you will find a new entry entitled “SCARS DOWNLOADS”. By clicking on this title you will be directed to a new page which covers downloadable files covering a number of categories. For those that are becoming or have already obtained a staff position as either a NCS or Administrator, tutorial training files may be found here. Additionally in the near future other downloads will become available for such matters as our Outreach Program, the actual course documentation pertaining to, and other files of interest to our members. We are pleased to announce, and further welcome a new VOIP conference server to the family of echolink support systems by the name of *USA*. This server may be reached by connecting to either *USA* or their node number of 181517. For further information please visit their website at http://usa181517.us or request further information at usa181517@gmail.com . Our Australia net last Saturday evening with its new time schedule of 2100 EDT (0100 Z) was a roaring success. It appears that this new time fits very nicely with all concerned, and further resulted in 46 stations participating, and 12 new members (10 from Australia).

Our current plans are to keep a weekly review session open for our students for several weeks after the official closing of the course to help the students that may still have some questions. Our new state of the art *SCARS* server made its change over last Tuesday evening, and is performing as expected. Current member’s help would be appreciated, as we are striving to reach a total membership between HF and VOIP of 10,000 members by the end of July. It appears as of this announcement that we are in striking distance of making this happen, and your help will make it much easier.
