LOL - somebody as old as I am! I'd actually sent my license application in for my CB radio an got a letter back telling me that my app and check had been shredded because the FCC had just dropped the licensing requirement. That was in the early/mid 70's as I recall. I, like a lot of people back then, was using the CB to 'avoid smokey bear; as I sped from one tennis tournament to another.

I remember when I was a kid, my dad had to get a license when he got his CB.

I got my CB radio license in the 70s - KQB4814; and I still have a 23-channel CB laying around somewhere.

Decided to check-in - noticed KE6TZG-L was 'off'. Was there a conference tonight - its been awhile, normally I have another scheduled event on these nights.

I think they changed the echolink from -L to -R or vice-versa. You may need to update your bookmarks. Not sure of the exact details, but it was mentioned tonight.

Yep, it's been changed from KE6TZG-L to KE6TZG-R. If you have KE6TZG-L saved in your favorites, just delete it from favorites and save KE6TZG-R to your favorites.

Thanks for the update,

And as it turns out, I am returning home on a flight Thursday night, so I'll miss this 2-12 too..... Something about my Thursdays.
