It seemed to be coming through a repeater. Does anyone know how its implemented, Im guessing VOIP but how does it come out on the radio, and how do I play ? It seems a lot more interesting than listening to two old blokes grumbling about mad crow flu and their wives’ bunions |
A few years back, I just happened upon a Brit ham on the local 2m repeater, using IRLP, & had a nice chat with him.
He had opened the node from his end, so I didn't need to do anything, just talk to him as if he was a local.
After I signed, he went on to make a couple more contacts.
Though a bit interested, I never followed it up---- the old I "couldn't be bothered" syndrome.
Another possibility is a couple of 2m repeaters linked to a 10m one.
Probably unlikely though, with the different allocations for repeater inputs & outputs in the two countries.
Not so hard if you only have to make one link, though--- are you sure the original 'net was on 2m?
From Perth in VK6, I worked a bloke in VK3 through the Melbourne 10m repeater, but he was mobile, using 70cm into a linked repeater.
