IRLP Internet Linking

Our 2Mx repeater, VK2RBM (147.050Mhz) is now linked to the worldwide IRLP network.
Congratulation to Peter VK2YX, Adrian VK2BFN and Peter VK2JPJ who have setup the network. Early reports are extremely encouraging. The system is far superior to the I-Phone linking we had been using.
Details of the internet linking system can be found on the IRLP site. A live page of the current active nodes can be found here.
