Instant Messenger programs (was [RTTY] RTTY on 160M)

[Jim McDonald]

For that matter, so is mine, though some nodes do block announcements.  No
"registration" is required.  Everyone is welcome and has it all.

And here's the link to Yahoo's IM, which I'd forgotten about:

Feel free to use my Cluster if you like.  It is open 24-7 and announcements
are always on, including the "talk" function.  SO not only can you keep in
touch via the talk function or announcements, you get the spots as well.
Customize your own filters for what you want to see come through on your
end.  So if you just want RTTY stations, it can be done. You just need to
let me know so I can register you for full use.
