[Linux-ham] Local nets

[Michael Ansel]

I'll second what I'm sure is a vote from KI4BRY for IRLP/EchoLink. I'm
a Duke student a thousand miles away from my radio, though I can't say
I'd have a place to put an antenna even if I had it. Fortunately, I do
have a blazing fast Internet connection, and I'd love to be able to
check in and meet the local ham community!
