You are welcome to unlink and link to your favorite reflector or repeater to make your call but, we ask that you link the repeater gateway back to reflector 30C when you are done.

Echolink Travel Tips
If you are planning to use Echolink at your hotel or RV park, you may need to setup the proxy option in your echolink software. While running the latest software, run the firewall test. By default, most network routers are blocking the necessary UDP/TCP ports required to run Echolink. If the firewall test comes back failed, then you will require a proxy. In the "System Setup" window, click on the "Proxy" tab, select "Choose Public Proxy" and use the drop down to find a suitable proxy. Click here for a list of public proxy servers.

Grand Strand Beachfest Myrtle Beach SC

The GSARC Beachfest has been cancled for a few years now due to "Lack of Interest / attendance". Some of you have been emailing me asking when it will return. Unfortunetly I dont have an answer for you. If you would like to see this hamfest return, my recommendation would be to send them an email "info(at)w4gs.org", and let the club know. Perhaps if they see a returning interest, it may come back.
