Carolinas Reflector:
July 7, 2012 - The Carolinas now has it's claim to fame with its own Dstar
reflector!! Yep, we have ref054 courtesy of Mark, W4BOG who resides in
Charlotte. He was kind enough to build up a computer in his data center and let
us enjoy some of his bandwidth for the project. A big THANKS to Mark for hosting
it for us!!!
Here is the plan for the reflector layout:
REF054A - Carolinas General Use
REF054B - EMCOMM/ARES/Skywarn etc
REF054C - Carolinas Repeaters / PermaLink
Please note the term 'Carolinas' here which includes both NC and SC. We're
hoping to encourage interest from the Columbia and coastal hams to join us.
Also, the Shelby group hosts an evening Dstar net, I believe they do it each
evening at 9pm. If we can get Todd and his group to connect up to Ref054C in the
evenings, we'll have a new statewide net to help encourage local and regional
activity.
A note about
linking and unlinking the repeaters to reflectors:
- Feel
free to unlink the repeater as needed (not during an active net or other
conversation)
- Identify
yourself (verbally) and state your intent
- Unlink
the repeater (send the letter 'U" in the the 8th position of the call sign
field)
- Link the
repeater to the desired reflector (send REF054CL in the call sign field, for
example)
- Conduct
your business on the newly linked reflector
MOST IMPORTANT:
When you are finished, please unlink the repeater. If it was
previously linked, please restore the previous link
Remember -
you are not the only person using the repeater, so leave things like they
were and ID yourself as you begin and end.
