Node notes:

This node is an open system.
Standard EchoLink defaults apply for connecting to other stations.
*Random conference connection option has been disabled.
ENJOY!

Note: The software and transceiver have built-in timers that will not allow you to exceed 3 minutes worth of extended QSO.  If you are a long winded rag chewer (like I am), just unkey your mic or hit your space bar to unkey and reset the system.  If you don't,  you will be disconnected and have to reconnect.  If you are working the RF side of this node and are disconnected, just press 09 (zero nine) on your DTMF to automatically reconnet your previous station or conference.   E-mail me if you have questions or problems with the system.
Due to DirecWay Satellite not providing consistent upload speeds, packet loss may cause a temporary connection loss while communicating.
