    It is a while since I have tried Echolink. With Echolink on your
    phone or PC, you can access repeaters on the other side of the
    planet, often used by locals to talk to others on VHF or UHF
    handhelds. You can even buy network radios that use the internet as
    the main bearer. I have an Android handheld with PTT that looks and
    feels just like a VHF handheld. I have to admit it is not used
    often as I prefer experimenting with "real" radio!
    If you cannot have big antennas or amateur radio in the
    conventional way, this may be a way to keep in touch.
    See

    echolink has nothing to do with ham radio

    It does when you hook it up to a repeater and gibber over your mobile
    phone.
