As of 3pm mst today, the node in Santa Fe is down still. There is a repeater/node just up the road from my house, but they do not list the tone online. I have emailed them a few times with no response yet. If the other node goes back online, I'll try to attend.

Hey Chuck,

Bummer...we'll get ya on sooner or later tho.

The 3502 node on 442.775 in Pojoaque is a WinSystem Affiliate (http://www.winsystem.org/), so they are generally locked into that setup. We've got one of those setup here. It's a really clique(ish) group - not overly freindly to newbies.

I drive by his house everyday and see the repeater's antenna. Maybe I'll stop by and try some persuasion. ;-)

Mark,
You are the second person I have heard say that about the Win system. I have had short contacts with a few hams on the Win system and never experienced any unfriendliness. It's sad to hear about negative experiences from different sources regarding the win system because it's really pretty cool with all the coverage they have.
The repeater I use in SF is on the Win system but the owner is cool with me using it for the Expo net.

I am new to HAM and just received my call sign, I'd love to get into the network, but I am struggling to understand how to connect to the IRLP networks, I found a local repeater that is connected. How do I get into the repeater and into the network, what are the tones and nodes? Are there any threads that give any detailed info on how to do this that might be HAM newbie friendly?

 

[crawler#976]

Paul,

Here's the method I use to connect - give it a try and see if it works!
