Local D-STAR repeaters

The W8HEQ C module has decent coverage outside at the Hamvention; the W8HEQ B module has marginal coverage. The W8RTL repeater has been relocated to Dayton, but is currently does not have a gateway, but hopefully will by the time of the Hamvention.

REF038C will be the Dayton Hamvention Reflector. All stations from outside the region are requested to connect to REF038C and not the local repeaters.

For additional repeaters along your route of travel, check out the repeater listings at and .
