 : Yes, skeds are perfectly okay ! Arranging your QSO beforehand is perfectly fine. We have a [Discord system](https://discord.gg/BBpbESxSCm) that's a great place to arrange a sked, or see who's around to find you on a repeater.
 
 Can I use Echolink, Allstar, or IRLP ?
-: You sure can ! The rules are the same, and nothing changes in the way you log your contacts. If a repeater has Echolink, Allstar, or IRLP, you can use it to make your contact.

The key is that the repeater *must be transmitting your contact over RF*. Please do not bridge a repeater to another repeater or conference; this is Ben's Rule, after WY2K's devious mind.

+What's the deal with DMR, DSTAR, and YSF ?
+: You can treat these as RF systems, accessing the repeaters directly over radio frequencies, or you can treat them as internet systems, using perhaps a local hotspot or similar to access the network. If the latter, the internet connectivity rule above applies : the repeater must be transmitting your QSO over RF for the contact to count.
 
 Will each repeater have a club member monitoring ?
 : Perhaps ! This will come down to club strategy. Get on a repeater, ask to chat to someone, and see what happens. If you're lucky, you'll find someone who's also participating in the Repeater Roundabout, and you can share your progress. If they aren't, you can still chat about anything and everything, and the contact still counts.
