Have Fun and Enjoy The NetworK

Our Mission

Policy when connecting to All-Star HUB or Nodes.

The system is open unless you’re on the black list.  Stations that want to connect with Echolink or All-Star are more than welcome to connect. Here are the rules as to what is allowed and not allowed on the system.

Pause 4 seconds before you start talking or give out your callsign.

No links/crosslink without prior permission.

No cross connecting reflectors or Allstar hub nodes allowed on this system without permission. 

No cross band radios are allowed on this system without permission. 

Do not connect another large Allstar  HUB or Echolink conference to the South Coast Reflector without  permission, as doing so your connection will be disconnected and/or banned from the South Coast Reflector. If you would like to connect your system to the South Coast Reflector we can work out the timing and add your system to in our scheduler. Then you can disconnect your system at any time if needed. We will put a temporary block on your system so there’s no problem with connecting back outside of the scheduler. The scheduler will still connect to your system going out here on the SCR just not inbound. The reason for this is we have local nets on the South Coast Reflector and connecting back to the South Coast Reflector outside of the SCR scheduler can cause problems. Thanks for understanding.

Please do not play any announcement globally over the system, doing so you will be  disconnected and/or banned from the system.

Please disconnect from this All-Star node before connecting to another reflector or All-Star node or hub. 

No gossip, swearing, profanity, or foul language are allowed on the system.

No talk of politics or religion allowed on the system. Remember that this practice goes along with the general rule of amateur radio.

If you do not observe or follow these instructions your All-Star node and/or Echolink connection will be banned from the system.

Please be kind and respectful to other users.

Have fun and enjoy the network!
