IRLP NODES and Reflectors now use 4 digit ids and 73 to disconnect.

Quick introduction to IRLP:
The aim of the IRLP is to link radio systems
separated by long distance without the use of expensive leased lines,
satellites, or controllers. IRLP uses Voice-Over-IP and the
internet.
Using your handheld or mobile, you can access the system, and
talk on simplex or repeater some where else in the world , i.e. Australia.
This is a boon to those who like to work DX but are living in areas
where they can not put up an HF station and antennae. Canadian
Amateurs with their Basic qualification can work DX countries using
IRLP. IRLP local nodes are on 2 metres, 70 cm, and 6 metres.
All YOU require is your radio, a DTMF keypad, (or outboard DTMF
audio sending unit), and of
course the access codes for the IRLP network.
How it works in a nutshell:
You go onto the IRLP frequency (simplex or duplex as required), turn on the local IRLP
node with your membership access codes and/or the access code for the DX Node ( for example a repeater in Australia). You will hear an
announcement from that Node. Make your call. When finished
you turn off the IRLP. When a remote station links to our Node
the announcement will be given along with the DX Node's call.
Note that you will only hear the audio for your connected link, although
there may be hundreds of node to node links active, More than two
nodes can be connected at once through the use of a reflector, allowing worldwide nets.
Kingston IRLP NODE
Node ID 2750 on
146.94(-) MHz,T 151.4 Hz, VE3KBR Repeater
The Kingston Node is online using the Club repeater. The Node radio
acts just like your handheld, mobile, or base station radio working into
the repeater. To work IRLP you only need to access the IRLP as outlined
below. Please listen in before transmitting. AND close the link when you
are finished.
Priority on the Repeater!
Emergency traffic has priority on the Kingston repeater with local
traffic second. Third Priority is IRLP traffic. Please leave
a pause between each transmission incase other stations need to come
on. There is a two second tail at the end of each transmission -
let other users in, if need be and then key up before the tail drops if
no one else comes on.

Note that operating IRLP is slightly different than carrying on a normal
conversation over a simplex or repeater frequency. Please read the
information contained in the IRLP
Usage Guidelines (click on Guidelines once on IRLP homepage) before you transmit on IRLP!
Accessing the Kingston IRLP Node
Visiting Amateurs - Due to the generosity of local Amateurs our node is an Open
Node, there is no pre-Access codes. Thank You to those who are supporting the Kingston ILRP project.
Membership is $10.00 for Kingston ARC members and $20.00 for
non-members. For
membership and inquiries contact Les,
VE3KFS ve3kfs at symbol dot rac, the Kingston ILRP project coordinator.
