The Ft. Worth NWS SKYWARN Team operate multiple amateur radio systems, including RoIP systems such as EchoLink and IRLP. Our RoIP systems are normally dedicated to direct connections with remote SKYWARN spotter radio stations in affected areas during weather events. We may limit incoming connections by use of an “allow list” of authorized stations. This helps us manage connections and limited network bandwidth during weather events. Periodically EchoLink or IRLP stations find they cannot connect to the Ft. Worth NWS SKYWARN stations. This memo describes our use of RoIP systems, and sets forth some criteria and instructions for requesting access to connect to our stations. · We have three primary RoIP stations, and an EchoLink conference for weather events. · EchoLink conference *WX5FWD* (372418) - Any EchoLink or IRLP station may connect to this conference. Be sure to also review our conference use GUIDELINES here. There is an EchoLink chat message capability. View the Conference Status here. Spotter EchoLink "user" nodes should use the EchoLink conference, *WX5FWD*. · IRLP nodes connect to the conference using IRLP node number 0010. The IRLP node owner must enable an optional setting to their /home/irlp/custom/environment file. · export ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_NODES=YES · EchoLink WX5FWD-L (70938) / IRLP 3786 - This is a dedicated simplex radio link at the NWS office. This station is only used during weather events for outgoing connections. EchoLink WX5FWD-R (119094) / IRLP 3799 - This is a dedicated simplex radio link at the NWS office. This station is only used during weather events for outgoing connections. EchoLink K5MOT-R (119161) / IRLP 3747 - This is a link to the K5MOT repeater in Fort Worth. This station is utilized during weather events, but otherwise may be available for use at the discretion of the K5MOT North Texas Amateur radio club.
· We periodically utilize these EchoLink and IRLP stations. Spotter nodes that block connections may want to add these nodes to their allow list. · KJ5RM-L (46873) and IRLP 7347 · KB5GLV-L (571622) and IRLP 7958 · WX5FWD-R (119094) · |
