>> 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.
