Because it didn't go down. You see, oh net-clueless one, Echolink has
multiple servers all across the country, and it's not possible to kill
all of those servers with a power outage.

Anybody using a battery-powered laptop with a phoneline or satellite
link would have stayed in business just fine. It's no different than
using an emergency-powered ham station, except that it's a lot more
reliable.

Echolink is the wave of the future AND YOU JUST CAN'T STAND IT!!!!


Well said !!

Echolink's performance during the Hurricane
Emergency exposed the TECHNOLOGICAL
OBSOLENCE of traditional SSB Amateur Radio.

And there's N O B O D Y who can dispute that
from a rational technological perspective.
