IRLP - bringing amateurs around the world together

The Internet has brought a great deal of innovation to Amateur Radio and has allowed Amateur's around the world in their thousands to collaborate in ways previously unheard of.

The IRLP is the leading factor in bringing Amateurs around the world together. Band conditions are not always on the Amateur's side as experienced on HF. With this in mind, IRLP is the way to keep in touch and keep Amateur Operators active. 33 countries are now connected to the IRLP, with more coming on line.

Those Amateur's who are using IRLP as a means of reliable communications now number in the region of one hundred and fifty thousand and increasing.

Here's a letter from Matt Pfeifer, KC0ROF

Hello,
I am 11 years old and I got my technician license about one year ago. Since then I have been racking up local contacts. Then I heard about IRLP nodes and Reflectors. IRLP is the most awesome thing ever. For example, last night with out even trying, I dialled up the crossroads reflector and talked to someone from Southern Florida and someone from Alaska (I'm from Minnesota)!!! I just want to thank you for creating the coolest service ever!
