[App_rpt-users] App_rpt-users Digest, Vol 49, Issue 30

[George Csahanin]

OK, a clarification I received from Echolink is this:

There are three callsigns that must not be blocked in the asterisk config:

permit=k1rfd, k1rfd-l, k1rdf-r, vk2jtp, vk2jtp-l, vk2jtp-r, w1cdm, 
w1cdm-l, w1cdm-r


If you're restricting access, as I am as well, the above needs to be 
there, according to the echolink folks as of this AM. I guess my 
permitting only a few thru made them think I was still running TBD..??

All's resolved now

But this set of callsigns may be something the gang needs to keep in 
mind. And everybody gets to live happily ever after.
