Dayton?D-STAR Repeater Reflector Linking?

?Hamvention received approval from the D-STAR Reflector REF030B to link a W8BI D-STAR over the Hamvention? weekend.?

The repeater was linked last year as well using a different reflector.?

A reflector allows all repeaters & DV Dongles linked to it communicate as a group.?

D-STAR activity in? Dayton ?over Hamvention? weekend can be followed by using a repeater or DV Dongle linked to the 30-B reflector?

instead of linking directly to the W8BI gateway.
