The \u201cFun Machine\u201d is a system built and deployed for emcom (Emergency Communications) use. \u00a0The Fun Machine and it\u2019s affiliates believe in promoting use of the system, first for emcom and second for staying in touch, teaching and learning! \u00a0When it\u2019s not being used for emcom\u00a0it\u2019s a regional system giving amateurs the opportunity to stay in touch and discuss anything from the weather to technical topics. \u00a0We can be a bit goofy some times but easily switch to our \u201cserious\u201d face during an incident or event. \u00a0We do allow incoming internet connections except when the system is linked to various local nets or other emcom\u00a0duties as the connects\/disconnects are quite disruptive. \u00a0I ask for a favor from all fun machine users, please be ambassadors to the hobby and the system. \u00a0If you hear a new call sign on the system, don\u2019t hesitate to say \u201chi\u201d and \u201cwelcome\u201d!<\/p>\n

We have many partners and we\u2019ve taken this to the next level by becoming a club.\u00a0 What does this mean to the users?\u00a0 Nothing really, We aren\u2019t planning on requiring dues but gladly accept donations.\u00a0 Next we\u2019ll work on becoming a non profit so your donations are tax deductible!<\/p>\n

Our system is built from the\u00a0asterisk<\/em>\/app_rpt software and industrial computers run the nodes. \u00a0Almost everything you see on the Fun Link Status is connected via private microwave between Pueblo, Salida, Woodland Park, Canon City, Pueblo West and Boone. \u00a0The longest microwave shot is about 52 miles at 5.6gHz. \u00a0Cotopaxi is an RF link until a microwave path can be established. \u00a0The system now has about 115 miles of microwave links and about 100 miles from Methodist in the west to Cedarwood in the east.<\/p>\n

Update: \u00a0The fun machine joined forces with RMHAM in building the southern microwave \u2018backbone\u2019 to carry audio\/video\/data. \u00a0The northern and southern networks were joined on June 27, 2014 with W\u00d8VG basically driving the golden spike as he cut routes from public internet sources over to the private microwave. \u00a0We\u2019re now proud to say our network stretches from Ft Collins up north to Boone which is 20 miles east of Pueblo. \u00a0Stay tuned, we\u2019re not done yet!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
