    What the difference between the HAM echo vs the AMATEUR_RADIO echo?

    For me they are basically identical.

    August,

    What the difference between the HAM echo vs the AMATEUR_RADIO echo?

    Semantics in the echo tag. Both terms are synonymous.

    In cases like this, it's as if someone wanted another ham radio echo
    for themselves to moderate.

    Moderators.

    I think AMATEUR_RADIO may be older than this echo. I took over this echo
    from Roy Witt when he left Fidonet just before his death.
