IRLP on W4CIA?

[Keith Christianson]

AMRAD members (especially Sandy if he is around):

Does the W4CIA repeater currently have IRLP capabilities? If the 
answer is yes am I allowed to use it? I would need help in bringing 
it up, or at least the info so I could try.

Background: There is a large drill called VOPEX scheduled for this 
coming Tuesday (information attached below). One way of checking in 
with VDEM (Va dept. emergency management) is by connecting a local 
IRLP node to a specified reflector.

Comments? Ideas? Also, John Transue made an inquiry into NERA, has 
not heard anything back yet.

I am also going to try 75 meters mobile, but think that will be rough.

Regards,
