[FARC] [Fwd: Amateur Radio, D-Star in MD]

[Rolan O. Clark]

Bob,

Phil,w3icf, has D star and has a lot of info on it. My new Icom IC 2200 H 
will take a D star add on so I may go that route one of these days.

I really think it will be the next generation of radios because of what all 
can be done.

Take care and thanks,

Rolan  w3icf

> To anyone Interested,

> I have created the Maryland D Star Users Discussion Group at 
> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/md_d-star_users
>
> The idea behind the creation of this group is to promote discussion of the 
> D-Star digital voice and data mode and sharing of ideas and useful 
> information with other hams that have or are planning to buy radios 
> equipped to use this mode in Maryland and surrounding areas.
>
> Since purchasing an Icom IC-2820H VHF/UHF mobile rig along with the 
> digital board, I have had a few discussions with other hams from around 
> the area and decided this could be great way to share information with 
> others or even possibly coordinate a few simplex QSOs between others in 
> the area who have the equipment and would like to try it out even though 
> there are no current D-Star repeaters in the area. It would be great to 
> hear from prospective repeater owners (clubs included) as well as those in 
> surrounding areas that already have repeaters who can share what they have 
> already learned.
>
> So, WELCOME to all who share an interest in the use of D-Star in here 
> Maryland and surrounding areas regardless of your band of choice or 
> whether you prefer voice or data… Come share what you know or ask about 
> what you might wish to learn…
>
> Keep in mind I am no expert in this subject, just another interested ham 
> who thinks this new technology has a great potential and would like to see 
> it grow in our area.
>
> I would like to ask those who receive this letter if they would please 
> help spread the word and pass this information to other hams, especially 
> through club newsletters and websites.
