Question: What is 'echo link' ?

EchoLink is a VOIP program for hams only. You can use it to connect
repeaters, or person to person, conferences, or links from echolink
to RF with a radio that setup with a pc to computer audio
interface. Some people frown on it saying it's not "true radio", but
I think if you like using it, it's all good.

NO, EchoLink or echo link is NOT amateur radio. It's only for people
that aren't capable of advancing their license status.

I tend to lean towards Kent's take on this platform. In the end, folks can decide for themselves what is/is not amateur radio in 2014.

That's not what I'm seeing on EL...there are Extra Class licensees on it
as well as some whose calls seem like beginners. Also, there are those
who're using an APP on there phones that give them 'portable' operation
and as we know, cell phones use our airwaves.

As you know, cellular IS a different use of the airways, but it is still
radio. The subject of this and the HAM radio is, radio or anything
pertaining to same.

Well at least You didn't use that tinyurl.com Link that You posted in
a message to me, where the Young European Lad used the wrong finger to
point up into the air to signify "One Way JESUS!".

Answer to your Tag Line

Steps are simple constructions to climb up and down, usually for
entering something on a platform and less in number.

Stairs are usually used to connect different floors in a building
and are more in number.

Your post in reply to his tagline question does nothing to explain 'why'
stairs and steps are called what they are. Perhaps a breath of fresh air,
taken just a few steps up the flight of stairs to the highest balcony over looking the huge valley of explanations will give you a clue.

The boy was told that he is mistaken and he was pointing to the powers
that be who reside in 'no mans' land, up yonder that what he said was
reality.

You see, he was testing the way the wind was blowing which is an old
Italian trick (see Columbus) where one wets a finger and sets it in the
wind to determine which side of it cools the fastest, must be up-wind.
Which I felt was a fitting answer to one of your (that one) posts.

PS - 'one way Jesus' must be a misnomer for the old, nearly blind priest
who always drives the wrong way on the one-way streets downtown San
Antonio.

That comment was totally unnecessary. Please loosen your tie and get
some fresh air yourself before you make such comments.

Somebody that is not so fluent in english may even learn something from
Tom's explanation. Think of that OM.

So was Tom's reply to the question;

Answer to your Tag Line

entering something on a platform and less in number.

Stairs are usually used to connect different floors in a building
and are more in number.

Please provide an explanation of what was relevant to the question or
Amateur Radio. It was a comment that was way off topic here. Do so per the
HAM echo rule - Section 3, paragraph 2 ... which refers you to Section 9.

Somebody that is not so fluent in english may even learn something
from Tom's explanation. Think of that OM.

Frankly, if one is interested in English education as a subject, the place
to learn it is in ENGLISH_TUTOR, where such text can be copied to and
discussed in a medium whose structure is English education.
