With the advent of fast Internet links, we are
starting to see the blending of radio with the Internet. W4MQ and W7DXX
have connected their HF radios to the Internet. With the software on their
sites, you can have full, two-way control of their rigs and make contacts
through the Internet.
EchoLink is a fabulous system that uses the Internet to remotely connect
repeaters. Users can connect to the remote repeater using their computer and
the EchoLink software, or by using a radio to connect to a local EchoLink
node and using DTMF tones to connect to the remote node from there.
eQSO is like EchoLink, but has much fewer users. IRLP is also like
EchoLink, but only allows users to link to a remote repeater using a radio.
