N8AD Skype API INFO and COMMANDS
N8AD has developed a SKYPE interface which allows a user who calls into Skype to listen and or control whatever is happening on the HFremote link system.
The picture below is the actual SKYPE SERVER INTERFACE PROGRAM>
This is the software which issues and processes the command you enter in the message chat screen of your skype>

- Currently only 2 sites have this capability - n8ad and ve1bwvdell
- Only Skype users which are on the ve1bwwdell contact list can control . All others can only listen
- The Skype link is hooked up to an HF radio, Echolink, vhf /uhf and other VOIP ham actvities.
- When a user connects to the VE1BWVDELL Skype, the activity heard by the user will depend on where the system activity is listening....
- It could be hearing an Echolink qso or listening the ARRL newline or an HF or Vhf qso.
- Please - LISTEN before you enter any commands - or you could interrupt the current qso session
- Remember its a shared system.
