I know there are a few hams in here, so this topic is directed to them, and perspective hams. Who besides me runs Echolink? I'd like to get a CAP Echolink group going. My call sign is KD8ERE. My apologies if no one finds this post interesting. Just another Comm guru typing ;)

I'm a ham but have not messed around with echolink much.  I would like to learn more about it though.

My call is KA5OWI.

If you go to www.echolink.org, you can download it on your computer. It's completely free. They will have to validate your license, then you can talk. It doesn't matter what license class you have.

We should all coordinate a time to get on to one or the other's stations. I think that this could be fun for all of us.

How about Teamspeak?

Its free to non commercial groups.

Group VOIP that all Captalk members could use.

Very interesting.  Have you used it? Give us details.

It looks like it's confrence hardware. I'm gonna read more about it, but this could be a great idea.

I just played around with the settings on my Echolink account. I can now allow conferences of up to 10 stations.

Its a very simple system.  Download, install, sign on to server, talk.  All you need is a mic and an internet connection.  Its used in video games to communicate speech between players.  I use Ventrillo, the original/grandaddy of teamspeak, but you have to pay for servers.
