>>> 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.
