I'm a new HAM (KJ4DDC) so no net controlling for me, but I am definately going to listen in!

Cool!

You're fortunate to have an node in your area - #4950, freq of 147.180, PL tone of 100.0, and doesn't get used much! You might wish to check with the node owner to see if they allow reflector connections. Here's the posted details:

W4VM IRLP Node: 4950

IRLP Node 4950 is linked to the 147.18 repeater on 446.200 simplex from my house in south Huntsville. 446.200 is a coordinated link frequency but you should use the 147.18 input to control the node for better coverage. It is an unprefixed node which means it is full and open for all to enjoy. The 147.18 repeater link port commands are announced from the machine : currently 70 off, 71 Transmit, 72 receive and 73 IRLP disconnect and repeater link receive. You can e-mail me for a 2 page quick start guide if needed. Always use the IRLP guidelines at www.irlp.net If you’re a frequent user through the repeater system, please consider supporting NARA: www.qsl.net/nara

Sounds cool. I would just like to listen in for this. I assume this works like Echolink correct? I just have to find a local IRLP node to me and then connect to node #9251 correct?

Cool! Hope you can make it for the net!

Looks like you have lots of choices, all you need to do is find one that allows reflector connections.
