Question: What is 'echo link' ?
EchoLink is a VOIP program for hams only. You can use it to connect
repeaters, or person to person, conferences, or links from echolink
to RF with a radio that setup with a pc to computer audio
interface. Some people frown on it saying it's not "true radio", but
I think if you like using it, it's all good.

NO, EchoLink or echo link is NOT amateur radio. It's only for people
that aren't capable of advancing their license status.

I tend to lean towards Kent's take on this platform. In the end, folks can PH>decide for themselves what is/is not amateur radio in 2014.

beginners. Also, there are those who're using an APP on there
phones that give them 'portable' operation and as we know, cell
phones use our airwaves.

Cellular is a different Service from the Amateur Radio Service,
but You knew that.

As you know, cellular IS a different use of the airways, but it
is still radio. The subject of this and the HAM radio is, radio
or anything pertaining to same.

Answer to your Tag Line
Steps are simple constructions to climb up and down, usually for
entering something on a platform and less in number.
Stairs are usually used to connect different floors in a building
and are more in number.

Well at least You didn't use that tinyurl.com Link that You posted in
a message to me, where the Young European Lad used the wrong finger
to point up into the air to signify "One Way JESUS!".
Your post in reply to his tagline question does nothing to explain
'why' stairs and steps are called what they are. Perhaps a breath of
fresh air, taken just a few steps up the flight of stairs to the
highest balcony over looking the huge valley of explanations will
give you a clue.

Somebody that is not so fluent in english may even learn something
from Tom's explanation. Think of that OM.
