The antenna is a 7.2 dbi gain antenna\u00a0and sits \u00a0on top of a 2 story house on a 20ft mast so it sit a about 1,000 feet about M.S.L. in Bexar County (San Antonio, TX).\u00a0The location is\u00a0near Vance Jackson, between Callaghan and Wurzbach Rd. For a more exact location, look up my callsign on QRZ.com.\u00a0 \u00a0You can hook up thru you cell phone also, using the Android or iPhone applications\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>This EchoLink\u00a0is programmed\u00a0not interrupt any stations<\/strong> and will allow better communications with hams traveling thru the San Antonio, Texas metro area, or hams traveling away from home who want to communicate back into San Antonio. There is a regular Monday night net on 146.52 by the Unusual Suspects ham group and this would enable members of that group to participate in the net, even if they aren&#8217;t physically within radio range of everybody else on the net.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Station ID is set to go off at 7 minutes after the hour<\/strong>\u00a0and only takes less than a second. If it detects the frequency is busy, it waits until a gap before announcing. When a ham\u00a0connects via EchoLink from their computer or cellphone, it will announce the ham&#8217;s call sign who is\u00a0connected, once when\u00a0they are first connected.\u00a0 After that, it&#8217;s up to the ham to properly identify their own call sign. \u00a0It\u2019s output is a little over 150 watts. This EchoLink\u00a0station can hear very well and\u00a0reaches out to\u00a0between\u00a030 and 50 miles from\u00a0this location, depending upon terrain.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Martin N5SWU can also\u00a0control Echo-link remote from his house<\/strong>\u2026 And has done all of the work making this possible\u2026 Thank you Martin for all the help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please give it a try..<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>More info on EchoLink can be found online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.EchoLink.org\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.EchoLink.org<\/a>.\u00a0 The station is programmed to allow mobile users (or base station users) to connect to specific nodes of other EchoLink stations via the keypad, but you must know what that station&#8217;s node number is before you can do that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please let me know if I can help with any questions.\u00a0I&#8217;ll be listening for you!\u00a0<\/strong> You can also contact me via my email address listed below.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew K5NNN<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:watsoninvestigation@justice.com\">watsoninvestigation@justice.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Echo-Link Station K5NNN-L, is now running on 146.52 MHz national calling frequency.\u00a0\u00a0It is located at my house,\u00a0at 940ft M.S.L.
