[amsat-bb] AMSAT roundtable on D-Star REF009C - NOW!

[Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)]

Rick,

Other than misspelling AMSAT, the subject of my earlier
message gave those details. It has been held on a D-Star reflector,
REF009C. Several Arizona D-Star repeaters are normally
tied into this reflector. Other repeaters can be used to reach
the reflector. If you have some sort of hotspot at home, or
use a dongle that doesn't require a radio to access D-Star
systems, you can connect directly to the reflector.

Endaf N6UTC was the driving force to get this informal
chat session started a few months ago, for those who use
D-Star. We started using the reflector REF009C, mainly due
to Endaf and I chatting on there. It just happened to be the
reflector that my openSpot hotspot is usually on, and is
hosted in Tucson. We haven't run it as a formal net, preferring
to just talk about satellite-related stuff among whoever
happens to show up.

If you use D-Star, you can check the status of the REF009C
reflector - including repeaters that are currently linked
to this reflector - at:
