An ARRL Affiliated Club
The Central Ohio Radio Club, Inc. sponsors and maintains IRLP node 8094. While we do not require you to be a member to use the IRLP node occasionally, we hope that you will join the club if you plan on using it on a regular basis.
When accessing the 147.33 repeater, please allow time to make sure that the IRLP unit is not in use by someone else before marking on. Please listen for at least 15 to 20 seconds before transmitting as the audio is delayed when using IRLP, and may take some time to respond. The repeater can be used for normal conversation when not being used for IRLP. An easy way to check if the node is connected is to touchtone in digits “111”. It will tell you if the node is connected. If you need more help please contact W8NBA, Joe, at irlp@corc.us
Using the node is very easy. First you need to look up the node you want to connect to. A list of nodes is provided at www.irlp.net. A typical connection might be “Your Call accessing the node” and then using your touchtone pad dialing in the 4 digit code you looked up earlier. The IRLP unit will respond “IRLP connecting to node “XXXX” All of the connect and disconnect messages are recorded by the node owners. Our local node messages were recorded by none other than our President, Laura Perone KA8IWB. You can then call CQ or the station you are wanting to connect with. If a conversation is already going on at that node, you should wait until it is over to make your call or disconnect. Disconnecting is also easy. Just dial in “73” and the node will disconnect you. Again, you should wait until there is no conversation going on to disconnect. That's all there is to it.
The Phone Patch is now no longer operational on this repeater. Please use one of the other repeaters to make a patch. More information on IRLP can be found at www.irlp.net . We suggest you read the information there prior to trying to use IRLP node.
Thank You
