ECGO thanks vendors and dealers for making
2015 technical session a success
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – East Coast Gate Operators (ECGO), home of
the ECGO phone entry system, has issued a big "thank you" to the vendors,
dealers and guests who made its March 25 educational event a success.
This was the eighth year for the annual event, and again the session had
a NASCAR flavor, as Denny Hamlin's #11 FedEx spring car was on ex-
hibit to be seen, and heard. Also on hand was the Corvette Racing Team's
awesome C7.R.

hosts Billy Meredith and Shawn Lalli served lunch to the large crowd.

cell phone entry system
CHARLOTTE, N.C. –

guests phone numbers for opening the
gate, which can be done using either
mobile phones or land lines, while the
ECGO-GKP accommodates 1,200 us-
ers and 400 codes. It also features text
or email reporting of who accesses the
gate, sent right to the property owner's
phone.
The units feature call forwarding,
and will ring up to three numbers in
sequence. If the first number is not an-
swered, calls will forward to the next
number on list.
Both the ECGO-G and
ECGO-GKP models may be surface

Things you learn at the movies
• During all police investigations
it will be necessary to visit a strip
club at least once.
• If being chased through town,
you can usually take cover in a
passing St. Patrick's Day parade –
at any time of the year.
• All beds have special L-shaped
cover sheets which reach up to the
armpit level on a woman but only to
waist level on the man lying beside
her.
• It's easy for anyone to land a
plane providing there is someone in
the control tower to talk you down.
• Once applied, lipstick will never
rub off – even while scuba diving.
• If you need to reload your gun,
you will always have more ammuni-
tion – even if you haven't been car-
rying any before now.
