hi, I am Alan M0AQC from the UK.

I would like to get back into D-RATS, its been a few years since i played with the mode.

i notice that a lot of rat reflectors no longer exist on the icom web page.

i have been given this groups contact details to obtain some help.

could you give me the current rat reflector info where many users might be active for contacts.

thanks Alan M0AQC

Alan, if you will go to WX4QZ on QRZ.com and then find his down load list for nets you will get the most accurate up to date list of nets and list of D-RATS ratflectors.? D-STAR info is way out of date and there seems to be no desire to correct it.? WX4QZ continues to work very hard to keep his information correct.? I hope this helps.

Alan,

? As Paul, K9PTF, and Lee, WB4QOJ, have noted, I started a NEW list of D-Rats, Echolink, and D-Star Nets...originally in PDF format, but then thanks to Gary, VA3GDZ, converted them to Excel Spreadsheets in US Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific Time. UTC Times are also noted in the spreadsheets, but they are one hour later when the much of the United States is on Standard Time, which is from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March (whether that gets changed in the future remains to be seen).

? The reason I started this is that info on nets at dstarinfo.com was, and apparently still is, woefully out of date. I tried numerous times to get updates on my nets, but to no avail, so I finally gave up. The ONLY link I note at dstarinfo.com is to get registered on the gateway...that information is covered in the Mode Overview file...a PDF file that tells how to set up the ThumbDV with the BlueDV program, plus D-Rats. With the D-Rats program, I do NOT include setup with email or WInlink 2000 -- I use my separate Gmail account and the Winlink Express program, respectively, for both of these, as they are much easier to work with. That file also has a list of around 10 ratflectors that I know of that are online, and that is in a separate file. If you see my D-Rats station up, just connect to WX4QZ, and go to the files area. Also in that file is a list to several other mode URLs, where you can find a list of nets, such as DMR, CQ100, Allstar, HamSphere, Christian Related for those who want them, etc.

? Please take note that I'm only responsible for the nets in the spreadsheets, not anywhere else. The only thing I ask about the spreadsheets, which folks are welcome to share the info, is that I get credit for the data, and Gary, VA3GDZ, gets credit for the spreadsheets. Apparently, there are some hams who are taking the info, making their own files, and claiming it as their own, without giving me credit. In effect, that's plagiarism and theft...and they will answer for it on Judgment Day. I am happy to give credit where it is due, but I also depend on folks to let me know if any of that net information in the Excel Spreadsheet files has changed. Note that last minute cancellations can occur with nets due to weather and other issues.

73,

Daryl, WX4QZ
