Opening a room
What is a room (Round QSO Room)?
This refers to community space on the WIRES system to which multiple nodes and stations can connect simultaneously. Operators
from multiple stations can freely engage in conversation, just like in a face-to-face meeting or party. There are open rooms that are
accessible to all members and closed rooms that only allow registered stations to connect.
A Room may be opened by the owner of a WIRES-X node. It is the owner’s responsibility to manage and control their own room.
One room may be opened per node.
