The FMCA ARC meets on the *FMCA-ARC* Conference Server every Tuesday at 01:00 UTC (8:00pm EST or 9:00pm EDT).  All other times are open to any amateur radio operators for general conference activities.  For general information on FMCA Amateur Radio Chapter, try the newly created website:

 The Family Motor Coach Association, Amateur Radio Chapter, (FMCA ARC) EchoLink Conference Server *FMCA-ARC* is currently activated from 12:00 through 04:00 UTC (8:00am through 12:00am EST) everyday.  To join a Conference during activated times, connect to conference node:    *FMCA-ARC*

The *FMCA-ARC* Conference Server uses the software 'TheBridge'. You will see a few differences while operating under this software.  The biggest difference is in the station listings.   The transmitting station is always at the top of the listing.  New stations and the last station to transmit will go to the bottom of the listing.  The "NEXT-to-TRANSMIT" position will be just below the current transmitting station.  Stations will propagate upward in the listing to the "NEXT-to-TRANSMIT" position.  Therefore, when you are through transmitting, pass the conference to the station listed just below your call.  

There are also new commands that each user can use.  The most useful might be the '.test' command which operates similar to the *ECHOTEST* server.  i.e. You can transmit and it will play back your transmission for audio setting adjustments.  This is for only one transmission.  If you need to repeat the test, re-enter the '.test' command.
