IRLP has transformed Amateur Radio and VHF/UHF communications into something that interoperates with the Internet. Along with the gateway technology that allows IRLP reflectors to interface with EchoLink conference servers and with the technology to allow for nodes to be “Echo-IRLP” meaning a node that can do either EchoLink or IRLP connections, these are powerful tools that have been very useful in Emergency Communications for this VoIP Hurricane Net and is being utilized on a local/regional basis around the US and the globe for Emergency Communications. This technology has also opened a new world of fun for VHF/UHF Ham Operators enabling them to talk far greater distances than they could in the past.

Congratulations to Dave on this well deserved award for a mode of operation that has provided greater fun to the Amateur community and a tremendous public service for Emergency Communications.
