We are testing my node and will supply info tomorrow. Only have bandwidth for 7-8 members and if we get more interest going to find a conference server. With current rate of interest I think I will look into server. More info coming

Update on NET for Friday. We will do the first trial NET on my personal node. It is my call sign which is KJ7BHN. I have tested it with single users calling me but not multiple at one time. I will be logged in this morning for 3 hours so if there is anyway a couple of you can log into me at the same time we could test before Friday. If not, we will soon find out. Also talked to a couple of Echolink conference servers. One was rude and said what we were doing was illegal. One gave me some good advise but there server was not a good fit. But I did find a conference server that will host our NET if it become reality. They have GB of bandwidth and 3 redundant servers in the USA. There is no charge as they host their own net on it but they accept small donations with PayPal. I am putting together an agenda and looking over several generic scripts that we can adapt to our NET purposes. All and any input is appreciated. More to come this evening Brent KJ7BHN

Fridays are out for me, but you can't satisfy everyone so carry on.
I did go ahead and download the echolink app, just waiting for my confirmation.
May be neat to have an OLB echolink node to congregate on during drivetime, weekends, whenever.

I like this idea. Don't even have to have our own, just need permission to use one of the others. I will talk to conference server about that. I think its open unless they have another NET on it.

I think he thought we would be promoting the OB site and products. I did not get to explain before he started scolding me. Maybe just grumpy old man. The others said as long as its not only for members and we discuss topics like any other NET we are fine. Just need to head to Ham radio rules which will be part of NET controller and scriptDid they care to provide any explanation as to what exactly was so illegal?

I didn't really mean a site funded node, but exactly as you stated an approved node to go to.

I'm interested and trying to get EchoLInk updated and validated. Not sure how to use it, but willing to attempt if I can.
