Toying With IRLP
IRLP - Internet Radio Linking Project
I started toying with IRLP this morning and found it to be quite interesting. IRLP is a VoIP (Voice over IP) system that connects hundreds, possibly thousands, of radio repeaters to the internet. To use the system you need a amateur radio license, a radio, and a local IRLP node to connect to. The radios in the IRLP network are called "nodes." You can connect directly to a node or use a "reflector" to connect a bunch of nodes together. You can get details on how to use the system and where the nodes are located at www.irlp.net.
This afternoon I connected to Sydney and listened to a few people talking about local webcams, then I jumped over to Japan and then China.
