Click here to the see nodes currently part of The Canada Hub. Many of these nodes are also connected other nodes. To see those nodes, click on “Bubble Chart” on the dashboard. An example is: http://stats.allstarlink.org/getstatus.cgi?517300 (Try this during the Trans-Canada Net on Sundays!).

But that still doesn’t show the full picture as there are also many IRLP reflectors and EchoLink Conference Servers connected where you see one node but there may be many connected them as well.

Note the The Canada Hub consists of four primary hub nodes that are connected to each other (517300, 517301, 517302, 517303). They each provide various services and a degree of redundancy so that if power or internet is lost to one node, the others can fill in. If you use node 517300 and it is down, feel free to try 517301 or vice versa. One of them should always be available.

Do not be intimidated, most repeaters are very quiet most of the time.
