Amateur Radio's Internet Radio Linking Project
IRLP stands for Internet Radio Linking Project. It is the linking of Amateur Radio repeaters and simplex channels from throughout the world to each other. For example, you could talk on a 440 repeater located here in Southern California via the Internet to a repeater in Atlanta! When you're done chatting, you can connect to Anchorage or Dallas or San Jose or Washington DC or Vancouver or Toronto or Sydney, Australia, or Sheffield in the UK, or Dominica island in the Caribbean, or any of over 600 other 'nodes'!! It's a powerful system, and 'you' with control privileges on your local 'node' have the ability to choose where you want to connect to. You could connect to a 'reflector' which is kind of like a central hub where you are linked to whatever other 'nodes' are connected--sometimes there's a dozen other repeaters connected and ALL linked together! In case you were wondering, the audio quality of IRLP is excellent, and the delay is barely noticeable. It works great!  listen to live audio feed of Reflector #2

IRLP is very exciting and interesting. If you don't have access to a local repeater or simplex channel which is part of IRLP, it's not impossible to set up a ‘node‘ yourself. The official IRLP web site explains it all. In this author’s opinion, IRLP is the best thing to come along in quite a while, and to those who think that ham radio is being replaced by the Internet—well here we have both working together.

This page contains Southern California-specific information as well as links to the official IRLP website and other resources for information on this exciting part of our hobby. 
One system where you can listen to IRLP is on the WA6RQD system: 447.380 Santiago Peak. Stop by and give us a listen. You’re bound to hear interesting and exciting QSO’s going on with locales that you never thought you could talk to from Southern California...at least not on an HT running 5 watts! :) - copyright 2001 by Mike Levy, KE6ALV, Member WA6RQD IRLP node (315), Oceanside, CA, USA

Southern California Nodes:
(sorted by primary frequency)
1 = Santiago Peak is the primary LA Basin repeater site
--a system on this site will cover most of LA and Orange counties, as well as the Inland Empire;
2 = Palomar Mountain is the primary San Diego county site

This is an outdated list.  IRLP continues to grow so much, that it is virtually impossible to keep this page updated.
