Nope, don't think so, but there used to be a machine in Ft.
Worth, Tx. that was linked into that system at night.  Did
sound for a band that was based out of there for a bit and
used to use that link early evenings when it was live to the Ft. Worth machine
as well.

The one in HOuston that does irlp echolink and all has a
phone patch as well.  When you access the patch, or echolink the irlp gets shut
down.  The codes are set up so that
bringing up one brings down the others.  Liked that machine
when we were in hOuston waiting for mechanics to get done
with our remote truck we bought there.  Spent about 3 weeks
in HOuston back in '07, and used the irlp to talk to soem
friends of mine around the country, and echolink
occasionally to talk to a couple weren't on irlp.

YEah the w6nut bunch.  Remember them from a visit out there
years ago.  Knew about the backward 70cm band plans too.
I had a machine on 444.075 for awhile back in iowa, GE
Master II would have rather had a motorolla, but i bought
this cheaply at a hamfest.  I think i bought the cavities
for it off this echo iirc.  IT waas on the steeple of the
church i attended using a J pole, and when I thought i was
moving for a job the church said if you're moving get your
radio gear off our steeple.  I told some of its other users
to go site hunting and they could *have* the damn repeater,
but everybody was too lazy to go site hunting, so I sold the cavities and the
machine, again on this echo, I think Chris
Boone bought 'em but might be wrong on that.


Regards,
