To return to the previous page, press the BACK BUTTON on your web browser. This page can also be gotten to via the TinyURL link of http://tinyurl.com/cl439r. This page was last updated June 24, 2009, and is also viewable on selected cellphones via the Opera Mini Web Browser.
NOTE: The first set of links in this table are with UTC...in Coordinated Universal Time. The second set of links in this table are with USA...in United States Eastern Time. So, if you live in the Central, Mountain, or Pacific Time zones...or if you live in an area that does NOT observe Daylight Savings Time, your times will be different than what is listed. In the U.S. Time zones that remain on Standard Time year round...when the rest of the U.S. is on Daylight Savings Time, your local time for the nets will be ONE HOUR EARLIER from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
Be sure you click on the desired day of the week link for either UTC or USA Time. UTC Time is based on the Greenwich Meridian, that runs through Reykjavik, Iceland. The time differences are based on what is posted on the ARRL W1AW Schedule Page, as follows:
''W1AW's schedule is at the same local time throughout the year. The schedule according to your local time will change if your local time does not have seasonal adjustments that are made at the same time as North American time changes between standard time and daylight time. From the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) = Eastern Time + 4 hours. For the rest of the year, UTC = Eastern Time + 5 hours.''
Further details on Echolink, and on CQ100, along with how to provide net information for this page, or to advise me of nets no longer in operation, are in other links further down the page.
Note that if the CQ100 servers are down, or if an Echolink node or conference server is OFFLINE at the scheduled time for the net, that net is either starting LATE, or it's CANCELLED for that day. This can also occur if thunderstorms, or emergency traffic is in the area at the time of the net, or for Internet connection issues.
Nets may also be CANCELLED for the Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Day, and other holidays...as well as for the day before those respective holidays. These cancellations are at the discretion of net management, and will either be announced on the nets, or in this listing.
My Echolink Node
Originally licensed on Aug. 7, 1991 as N5VLZ...as of June 5, 2009, I now hold the vanity callsign AE5WX. I can be reached at Echolink node 51800...however, please leave a message with EchoAnswer, as I'm usually out of the shack. Please be patient on receiving a reply. The node number 51800 signifies my original wedding anniversary of May 18, 2003. Tragically, my XYL, Janice, died of a heart attack on April 27, 2007...she was studying for her Technician Class license at the time of her death. To view the webpage that I have set up in her memory, click here. I'm considering setting up a link into the Arkansas Radio Emergency Services Club N5AT repeater in Little Rock, Arkansas...using the Echotime TTS Plus program. Unfortunately, that program is no longer registerable.

Echolink And CQ100 Overview Part 1
Echolink is a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) mode of amateur radio, which allows ham radio operators with a Technician Class or higher license to connect to other stations, links, repeaters, or nets around the world...with no additional antennas or equipment requirements; if they're running it in single user mode. All that's needed is a computer with a compatable soundcard, a microphone and speakers (or a headset microphone), an Internet connection (dial-up will work, but DSL or cable is the best), and running either:
1) Microsoft Windows (98 or better), and the Echolink program; OR
2) Macintosh with the OS X operating system, and the EchoMac program; OR
3) Linux, and the EchoLinux program.
I understand that EchoLinux is no longer maintained, and is not recommended these days. Other alternatives include EchoIRLP...which is IRLP and
Echolink node in the one box (needs a radio of course). Other choices include QTel, and
SVXLink. Additional help is in the Yahoo Groups Echolink Forum.
CQ100 is another VoIP mode of amateur radio, and like Echolink, is particularly useful for stations that have power and/or antenna restrictions at their locations. With Echolink in Single User Mode, or with CQ100, NO ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT, WIRES, ANTENNAS, ETC. ARE REQUIRED.

Echolink And CQ100 Overview Part 2
There are several differences with Echolink and CQ100 as follows:
1) Echolink is FREE to use...CQ100 costs $32 US Dollars per year...although licensed hams can get a 90 day free trial. If you sign up before your 90 day trial is finished, the remaining days are added to your 1 year subscription. If you renew before your subscription expires, the days you have remaining in that subscription will be added to your total.
2) Echolink REQUIRES a router setup, or going through a Proxy Server...CQ100 does NOT REQUIRE any router or proxy server configuration..which makes it great for ''tempermental aircard setups''.
3) Echolink has various nodes (single user, simplex link, repeater, and conference servers)...CQ100 has ''simulated'' operations on portions of the 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meter bands.
4) While RF occurs on Echolink Nodes (unless the connected stations are single user setups), no RF occurs on CQ100.
5) Echolink will only allow phone or CW transmissions on the frequencies...CQ100 can integrate other programs to do digital modes (PSK31, RTTY, CW, etc.), and with an extra program called QSO_TV (available to registered CQ100 users), you can exchange pictures like it was amateur television. Images are sent and received in JPG format, with the callsign of the station who sent the picture appended on the image.
6) Echolink station information is shown on the transmitting station only on the first time they key up after connecting...with CQ100, you can click on the callsign of the transmitting station, and be taken directly to their listing on the QRZ website.
7) Echolink connections may be affected by noise, interference, etc., which may make the signal difficult to read. With CQ100, there is no such thing as a ''noisy signal''.
8) Echolink nodes may limit the number of stations that can connect with their node or conference server...but with CQ100, any number of stations can connect to a particular frequency.
9) Echolink can run on Windows (98 or higher), Mac, or Linux systems, as noted above. CQ100 only works on Windows 2000, XP or Vista.
10) Echolink doesn't tell you at a glance if someone is on a particular node (unless that node is shown as BUSY)...CQ100 has a spectrum graph, which shows radio activity within a settable sweep range of 50, 100, 200 and 500 kHz. However, unlike Echolink...where it lists all who may be connected to a particular node, CQ100 provides no such listing of those who are connected to a particular frequency.
11) Echolink requires you to observe Third Party Traffic and Reciprocal Operating Agreements...CQ100 does not, since no actual RF occurs.
12) Echolink requires the equivalent of a valid U.S. Amateur Radio Technician Class license or higher to access and use it. CQ100 requires the equivalent of a valid U.S. Amateur Radio Novice Class license or higher to access and use it. While U.S. and Novice and Advanced Class Amateur Radio licenses are no longer issued by the FCC, these amateur radio licensees may continue to operate within their privileges, as long as their license is valid.

Echolink And CQ100 Overview Part 3
If a user is in the local area of an Echolink node, they can use DTMF commands on their rig keypad to access these nodes directly. The Echolink user can also run his system in Sysop Mode...setting up connections between their rig and a computer for a simplex link, or a link to an area repeater. Callsigns with asterisks (*) are Echolink conference servers. Other callsigns are either repeaters (-R suffix), simplex links (-L suffix), or single user stations (no suffix). It's best to search by Echolink node number to find the correct listing. With CQ100, you just choose the desired band and frequency, and begin operating.
The 2009-2010 ARRL Repeater Directory Pocket Size Edition, or Desktop Edition, have a listing toward the back of Echolink, IRLP, and WIRES-II repeaters. Note that since CQ100 only simulates amateur radio, it is NOT mentioned in that publication. The Desktop Edition has a bit larger print than the Pocket Size Edition, but it's not what I'd call ''overly large print''...to help those who are visually impaired in some way, such as myself (I'm extremely nearsighted).
More details on Echolink are at the Echolink homepage...including details on Validation Requirements before you're allowed access to the Echolink Network...where there are a wide selection of conference servers and nets (I know I've only scratched the surface with this listing). More details on CQ100 are located here.
Two articles from past issues of QST, published by The American Radio Relay League (ARRL), provide good reading on Echolink.
The first article, entitled ECHOLINK.PDF, from the April, 2006 issue of QST, tells of a ham radio operator using Echolink in an Omaha, Nebraska hospital...allowing several patients to use ''The Echolink Magic Carpet'' to talk to ham radio operators around the world...to take some of the loneliness out of their day.(Sadly, the author of this article is now a Silent Key).
The second article, entitled VOIP.PDF, from the February, 2003 issue of QST, has an overview on Echolink, eQSO, IRLP, and other Voice Over Internet Protocol modes.
ECHOLINK.PDF, and
VOIP.PDF are available via email request...you can obtain that by being a registered user on the QRZ website, and look up AE5WX.
Another article on Echolink, a a new and easy to understand introduction to Echolink...even though it was intended for the United Kingdom's MB7IPH-L node, the information is equally applicable to Echolink operation world-wide, and it's available here.
Note that you will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Adobe Acrobat Website to view these files.
QST is available to ARRL members as part of their membership (costs can not be separated)...or at various amateur radio businesses. You can order back issues, view index files, etc. at the ARRL Website. ARRL members can also download various articles in PDF format from the Members Only Section of the ARRL website.

Echolink And CQ100 Credits
NOTE:The following information...used by permission...is from the publication VoIP: Internet Linking for Radio Amateurs (2nd Edition), published by the American Radio Relay League...which has more information on Echolink, and the other Voice Over Internet Protocol modes of IRLP, eQSO, and WIRES-II, and also from the CQ100 website.
Echolink is the creation of Jonathan Taylor, K1RFD (who is the author of the VoIP: Internet Linking for Radio Amateurs (2nd Edition)
...and Echomac is the creation of Steven Palm, N9YTY. EchoMac is based partly on a project called Echolinux, spearheaded by Jeff Pierce, WD4NMQ, which brings an Echolink compatable client to the Linux platform. CQ100 is the creation of Doug McCormack, VE3EFC.

Echolink And CQ100 Net Times
The nets below are listed in both UTC (Greenwich Mean Time), and in USA (United States Eastern Time). However, please note the effective dates and times, as some locations change their UTC net time for Daylight Savings Time...but, the local area net time in many areas remains the same year round. As noted at the top, if you're in the U.S. Central, Mountain, or Pacific Time zones,
or if your location does NOT observe Daylight Savings Time, your net time will be DIFFERENT than what is listed below. To better determine local area times around the world, there is a freeware Windows program called QLOCK. It allows you to set up a series of windows on your desktop, showing the current date and time for the city or cities you've selected. You can also have the program automatically synchronize your computer clock to a time server.
When selecting a city (a large number of cities and countries are available), and if the medium or large skin size is selected, it'll tell you when that location observes Daylight Savings Time. With the QLOCK program, the city of Reykjavik, Iceland observes GMT year round...so, I use that as my benchmark in determining actual net times. What I've done is use the program to select the cities or time zones of the Echolink nets that I wish to checkin to...and you can do the same!!
QLOCK is available in both a freeware, or a professional version (fee). You will need WinZip to extract the files from the archive.
Another nice program to show world time is called Sun Clock from Mapmaker. It can display all time zones around the world either as a screen saver, or a stand-alone program.
To view this program, click here. Another recommended program is SymmTime, a freeware timezone clock for Windows. To get it, click here. Also, MFJ Enterprises has several clocks in their
product line...some that display local and UTC time...which you can use in your ham shack.

Echolink And CQ100 Net Listing Requirements
If you have an Echolink or CQ100 Net that you'd like listed here, I need the following information:
a) Callsign of the node (Echolink)
b) The node number (Echolink) or frequency (CQ100)
c) The mode used (CW, PSK31, Phone, etc.)
d) A ''brief title description'' of the net
e) The days of the week that it meets
f) The time that it meets in UTC (please note if your location observes Daylight Savings Time at some point of the year, and if so, when)
g) Any comments, and additional weblinks for those who want more information.
Also, if there are any deletions or corrections to what is listed below (including if a net or a node is TEMPORARILY DOWN, or you are UNABLE TO CONNECT (Echolink)), please contact me via email from my listing on the QRZ website...you will have to be logged on as a registered user to obtain that.< P>
The nets can be held on repeaters, sideband, simplex links, other Voice Over Internet Protocol modes (eQSO, WIRES-II, or IRLP), or EXCLUSIVELY on just Echolink, such as on conference servers...or on CQ100. Depending on conditions, you may or may not be able to connect to a station in the listing...the node or servers may be offline, for various reasons.
NOTE!! Any net listed on this page MUST allow Echolink or CQ100 checkins at some point during the net. The Net Control Station MUST realize that THERE IS A SLIGHT DELAY IN AUDIO WITH ECHOLINK...and if they don't give enough time for Echolink stations to check into their net, these stations will likely go to other nets. If I get reports that this is the case, your net may be REMOVED from this page!!
Return To Top Of Page
Checking Into An Echolink Or CQ100 Net
Depending on the Echolink Conference Server, you may need to be SURE that your country has either a Third Party Traffic Agreement or a Reciprocal Operating Agreement set up WITH the country, where the Echolink Station or Net that you plan to connect with is located. The only exceptions to this are if a station has EMERGENCY OR PRIORITY TRAFFIC, or if you, as a single user station, CONNECT DIRECTLY to another single user station via Echolink, and NOT over an RF link. The reason for this, is that occasionally, DX stations may ask you to pass a third-party message to a friend or relative in the United States. This is OK as long as the United States has signed an official third-party traffic agreement with that particular country, or the third party is a licensed amateur. The traffic must be noncommercial and of a personal, unimportant nature. During an emergency, the US State Department will often work out a special temporary agreement with the country involved. But in normal times, never handle traffic without first making sure it is legally permitted.
A list of countries having Third Party Traffic Agreements with the United States can be found here. A list of countries having a Reciprocal Operating Agreement with the United States can be found here. For information on amateur radio operation in the United States by amateur radio operators from countries outside the United States, click here. A combined list of countries, by alphabetic then numeric callsign prefix, with either Third Party Traffic or Reciprocal Operating Agreements with the United States, can be found here. Note that with CQ100, since no RF actually occurs, you don't have to worry about these restrictions.
Once you do connect with that Echolink Station or Net...or on the CQ100 frequency, please WAIT until the appropriate time for Echolink or CQ100 checkins are called for. Then, key your mic, BUT WAIT 2 SECONDS to give all the links a chance to key up, before you continue. Then, call the net control station by their callsign, give your callsign phoenetically; then UNKEY, AND WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE RECOGNIZED BY THE NET CONTROL STATION before keying up to speak again. Most net controls will just ask for your callsign first, then will ask for your name, location, and comments.
If you're at your computer when using Echolink to checkin to a net, be sure that your TEXT WINDOW and DOUBLING ALERTS are ENABLED...so that you can tell if you're doubling with another station. If that occurs, you may have to check in again. As most, if not all, of these nets are DIRECTED NETS, please listen for any other directions from the Net Control Station. If checking in via an Echolink repeater or simplex link, please TURN OFF your DTMF tones, and DISABLE the
conferencing feature while you are connected. Several Echolink conference servers can detect if you have conferencing enabled when you connect to them...and they will immediately
disconnect you if that is the case. With both Echolink and CQ100, only one station can transmit at a time. On Echolink, you won't be able to transmit...and on CQ100, and your PUSH TO TALK button will NOT RESPOND if another station is already transmitting.
Lastly, because politics and religion are emotional hot buttons for many people, many of the nets may either allow you to BRIEFLY TOUCH on these subjects...or they may DISCOURAGE discussion of these topics altogether. In fact, some countries amateur radio regulations PROHIBIT these discussions...and one can FORFEIT their amateur radio license as a result!!. Besides, there are plenty of other topics that can be discussed besides politics and religion.
