A new wide-area D-Star net will begin operating Sunday, January 9. This net will operate in conjunction with many existing D-STAR repeaters on the newly formed Reflector 38 Alpha (REF038A), along with several planed sites, to form a reliable network of communication to be used for training in the operation of D-STAR. It will also allow for a platform to test communication links in the event of an emergency or natural disaster within the state or surrounding areas. |
