Welcome To Mark's Echolink Station
(Connecting the World)

The EchoLink gateway is run on the KB9WCO-L local link from Plainfield, Illinois (U.S.A.). The EchoLink gateway station consists of a computer that is connected to the internet via an interface (ULI) "black box". The black box is interfaced to a 2 meter radio that currently operates on a frequency of 146.460 on the 2-meter band. The gateway computer is able to connect audio from the internet to the link input and the link output audio to the internet.

The following is a brief description of how to access the EchoLink gateway node on the KB9WCO linking system. For specific questions on operation on the KB9WCO gateway node, contact Mark KB9WCO.
