<h1>The UK Hub</h1>
<p>What is the <strong>UK Hub</strong>?<br>The UK Hub is a network of simplex
links and repeaters linked together by AllStar and Echolink.</p>
<p>What is it for?<br>Its purpose is to increase activity on links and repeaters
that are quiet and to create new friends and build international bridges between
different countries<br><br>Can anyone join?<br>Yes. There are a few options
available:<br>1. Full time member: Become a full time member of the network and
leave your link permanently connected at all times, this does not mean you
cannot connect to other nodes while connected to the UK HUB, but we would ask
you do not connect multiple linked systems or reflectors. <br>2. Part time
member: Leave your node connected on a part time basis and please follow the
rules of courtesy to other members.<br>3. Adhoc member: You come and go as you
please, but agree to abide by the rules of courtesy to other
members.<br><br>Rules of courtesy to other members<br>1. Please ensure you leave
a full 4 second gap between over's, this is to allow repeaters and simplex nodes
to dekey.<br>2. Please do not use Full Duplex for more than 3 minutes as nodes
and repeaters in the system will time out.<br>3. If you want to have a long
conversation with someone using full duplex, you are welcome to stay but please
respect rule #2 and if appropriate, leave the network and come back when you're
finished.<br>4. The network is for everyone, so please welcome any break
stations or newcomers and afford them every courtesy.<br>5. ENJOY THE
NETWORK!!!!</p>
<p>Current membership is relatively small, we have 3 American repeaters on the
east coast and approximately 4 nodes connected permanently to the
network.<br><br>About the UK HUB System<br>The HUB is primarily an AllStar Node
with Echolink capability.<br>It uses a HP MicroServer N40L which is a 1.5GHz
dual core Turion processor with 2GB RAM, this currently runs at between 10% -
18% of used resources.<br>The node has a 38MBps connection which is unlimited.
This is done by ADSL to a fibre connection point at the end of the street, which
effectively brings the DTE within 300 metres of the server location.<br><br>So
How do I Connect<br>If you have Allstar I would encourage you to use this over
Echolink as the codec is better and it keeps the echolink connections free for
Echolink only simplex nodes.<br><br>AllStar 27066<br><br>Echolink

world via your handheld</p>
