We subsequently scheduled a?state-wide Illinois D-STAR net at 8 pm on Wednesday nights using reflector REF001B.?

However, we recently learned a Central Illinois D-STAR net has also recently begun on Wednesday nights at 9 pm using reflector REF001B.?

So in order to increase state-wide D-STAR activity we have decided to move the new Illinois D-STAR net to 9 pm and?
incorporate it into the Central Illinois D-STAR net?so we?have one state-wide Illinois D-STAR net each week.?

Milt, K9QZI has been the net control of the Central Illinois D-STAR net & will continue to be the net control of the state-wide Illinois D-STAR net at 9 pm.?

Over time we will likely need others to assist with net control. I plan to be also be available on the net as often as possible.?

We also encourage Illinois D-STAR users & repeaters to periodically connect to Illinois Reflector REF001B over the course of the week?
in order to increase local D-STAR activity and allow D-STAR users in Illinois to connect with each other.?

Subject: [IllinoisD-STAR] Illinois D-STAR Reflector Channel REF001B Announcement

As many of you know, in many areas D-STAR reflectors are used to link repeaters together and?
provide a common place for repeater users & DV-Dongle users to communicate with each other.?

The FRRL (Fox River Radio League) in the western suburbs of Chicago operates?
D-STAR 2m & 70cm repeaters and hosts D-STAR reflector REF001.?

Kermit, W9XA, technical coordinator of the FRRL D-STAR system & reflector has indicated?
REF001B reflector channel is available for primary use as the Illinois reflector.?

REF001B will provide a way for Illinois D-STAR users to communicate with each other on an ongoing basis.?

REF001B reflector can be used by both Illinois D-STAR repeaters & DV Dongle users to connect with each other.?

It is hoped that D-STAR repeater owners in Illinois will connect their appropriate repeaters to REF001B?
either on a full-time or periodic basis.?

REF001B will also be used to conduct the weekly Illinois D-STAR net at 8 pm on Wednesday nights and?
we encourage repeater owners to connect their repeaters to REF001B at that time as well.?

For more information about D-STAR in Illinois the Illinois D-STAR group was created?to?
facilitate communication among D-STAR users and?can be accessed at:?s.yahoo.com/ group/IllinoisD- STAR/
