These are one channel reflectors. To connect, simply dial the four digit number on your IRLP node. But first,
make sure you have the following statement in the environment file of your IRLP node computer.

export ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_NODES=YES

are NOT generally welcome because of low audio quality and
inability to suppress call signs and courtesy tones.
Contact NG8Y or KA7G for further info.

arrlnews.rfnet.link

The *ARRLNEWS* VoIP system automatically plays back the weekly ARRL Audio News for EchoLink,
IRLP and other Amateur Radio VoIP systems. The home page for ARRL Audio News is at www.arrl.org/arrl-audio-news/.
The *ARRLNEWS* system will start automatically upon connecting, and pause periodically, about every 90 seconds,
to avoid timeouts and to allow station ID or local operator control. Upon resuming after a pause,
the audio is rewound to start a few seconds before the pause. When audio playback is complete the connection is dropped.
Users may disconnect at any time. The ARRL Audio News is updated weekly on Friday, usually in the afternoon or evening eastern USA time.
EchoLink users may connect to conference *ARRLNEWS* node number 826983.


IRLP users may connect to experimental IRLP node number 0099.
IRLP node owners must enable experimental node access by editing the custom/environment
file to include the line:
export ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_NODES=YES


Allstar users may utilize chan_echolink or chan_tlb channel driver modules to connect via EchoLink or theLinkbox (tlb).
If using chan_tlb include a line similar to the following in the tlb.conf [nodes] stanza section.
1099 = *ARRLNEWS*,44.76.21.99,44966,ULAW


No conferencing or communication is provided between connected users. Each connected user hears a seperate copy of the audio stream.
Echolink connections utilize the GSM CODEC. IRLP or TLB connections use the default CODEC the node owner has chosen.


The *ARRLNEWS* system is similar to the *NEWSLINE* system provided by Skip WB6YMH on node number 0016.
