The WA6HAM Repeater System uses EchoLink for amateurs to connect to the three repeaters via the Internet.  While the Internet is used, the repeater system still depends on radio frequency links for the last mile of repeater linking.  If you are interested in connecting via EchoLink, please do so via the WA6HAM-R EchoLink connection.

If you have any other questions about how the WA6HAM Repeater System is linked or could be linked please feel free to send an email to ccrasysop@gmail.com.
