Member's Adventures and updates
In the fall of 2000 Clarence Kerous W9AAZ ventured off to the Caribbean, Guadaloupe to be exact with four fellow hams on a DXpedition. Click here for story and photos
Here is Mike Zane (N6ZW) hard at work on his QSO's while vacationing in Little Bay, St Maarten Island, summer of 1999. Mike worked over 100 QSO's ,worked 22, countries, 26 states, and 32 IPARC members.

Click here for photos and story of Mike's Vacation in St toimas, US Virgin Islands in March of 2001
Feel like getting away? This is how Dick Postma (KO6DL) spent the summer of 1999, kayaking down the Yukon River for 1350 miles. Dick was kayak mobil for much of the way. Note the Outbacker antenna provided by Alex Dutkewych (VE3IPA) Dick was able to stay in touch with his wife, Leona (KE6GUA) with the help of the Alaska Pacific Net. This photo was taken in Yukon Charlies Nat Park. Radio station was a Icom 706, Outbacker antenna, two Power Station batteries, and a Uni-Solar USF-11 Solar Panel. ( click here for story)
It has been brought to the attention of IPARC members of the amateur radio Echolink software. After downloading the software you fill out a short questionaire which will be used to verify that you are a licensed amateur radio operator. Once you are confirmed as a licensed operator you then will see a screen with all of the hams that are on line at that time. Mere'ly click on any name and you will be connected. You can then have a QSO with out any interference of any sort. This system is also linked with several repeators through out the world, one of which is operated and hosted by Jim W2COP in New York. This link is located down in the conference server section of the screen and is labled *PUBSAFTY*.

To download the software go to http://www.echolink.org

All that is needed is a computer with sound card and a computer mic.

I have tried the program and find it to be very interesting and useful, maybe not for the purest, but in these times of bad band condition it is great. Note: You may have firewall issuse in the beginning but this can be resolved easly. Give it a look see and send me a email with your comments, lots of option with such a program.
