Information On eQSO and EchoLink and SWLs

How to access the Masonic Gathering Net

The gathering originates in the Freemason Room in the eQSO system. 

Free software can be found at the following address : and general information on the
 eQSO system can be found at http://www.eqso.org .

The server should be set to Server.eQSO.net . The FREEMASONS room is usually linked
 to the K5JD Repeater (146.96   PL-110.9) in Dallas, Texas during the Gathering.

The Gathering is also linked to the *Masons* Conference on the EchoLink system
(Free software can be found at the following address: http://www.echolink.org/el .
The node number for the *Masons* Conference is 83055. This conference allows only a
limited number of users at any given time. In the event there is an overload, the  *K5JD*
 Conference (node 38575) will be linked in to give more capacity. You will be able then to
 access the Gathering through either conference. The EchoLink System allows for remote
access to conference through repeaters and links stations. You may find a local link
which will allow you to check into the Gathering through the *Masons* Conference.
 

VOIP (Voice Over Internet Provider)

eQSO is designed to emulate a large hf radio net. The system is optimised for radio gateways, however the software for use on PCs is free and can be downloaded from http://www.eqso.net . Support is available at  http://www.eqso.org. Access to eQSO may be by computer or through a radio gateway. eQSO users may register with the eQSO website, and receive their own eQSO.org email address.

eQSO is the simpler of the VOIP programs. It requires less memory to operate and has fewer conflicts when running across networks where firewall may be present. If you are using an older computer to access the internet, you may want to consider this program.

 

Echolink software has evolved from the iLink software, which is now largely defunct. Echolink can be used either through gateways, or by amateurs using computers. Echolink supports conference rooms, and the gateways respond to DTMF commands. It also permits computer to computer contracts. Echolink can be downloaded from http://www.synergenics.com/el/

The Echolink software package has more bell and whistles. In addition to station to station contacts, the package provides a text box for messaging the computer stations you are in contact with. It also let you set up favorites and alarms lists. It does require more memory to run and may require special configuration of the network ports.
