G3ZHI internet linking talk on South African radio

On 21 November Ian Abel, G3ZHI, gave a one-hour talk about Internet linking on the South African Radio League’s ‘Intecnet’ programme.

The programme, which is unique in the world, is broadcast every month on a large number of 2m and 70cm repeaters all over South Africa as well as on 80 and 40 metres plus a 90-metre 100kW broadcast transmitter audible throughout much of Africa. The programme can also be heard all over the world via Echolink on node number 185459, the ZS6FCS Pretoria repeater.

After Ian’s talk, he took questions from amateurs all around South Africa who were listening on one of the repeaters or on HF.

The host of the event is Hans, ZS6AKV, who calls hams on the telephone anywhere in the world who are to be on the programme. If you would like to give a talk on your specialist subject please e-mail him at hans@intekom.co.za

The next such programme is scheduled to be broadcast at 1800UTC on 19 December, subject to confirmation. Anyone wishing to listen in can connect on Echolink 185459
