Hugo Soto TI2HAS showing the Echo Link station TI0RCCR-R to César HR2P

The Telpac node TI2HAS was recently installed in Costa Rica. It serves as a port of entry to send signals through the internet that are received in VHF - PACKET, messages to other BBS in other countries, and to the Winlink network.

Last weekend, Hugo Soto TI2HAS, president of RCCR, received a visit from Cesar Santos HR2P, EMCOR of IARU R2, to whom he showed the radio that was equipped with the Echo Link System TI0RCR-R. It is linked to one of the local VHF repeaters.

They also discussed the cooperation of Emergency SM Communications with the Red Cross and other support organizations; the implementation of a reminder in the bases of Ham Radio Competitions to avoid transmitting within 5 Khz above and below the frequencies reserved for the centers of emergency activity GAREC, to leave them free of interference from the competition.
