We will be discontinuing IRLP service on the VE6HM system in the near future. EchoLink will be unaffected by this change.
The third pillar, and perhaps the most import in terms of impact, is community service. Amateur radio operators have along history of utilizing their skills and equipment to support their communities. We do this on a regular basis by providing communicaiton or manpower suport to community events and be being a service of last resort during catastraphies and emergencies.
