[ScanIndiana] D-STAR Activity in Indiana??

[Mark Thompson]

HI All - 

I'm a member of the CARMA scanner/listener group in the Chicago area. 

Over the last few months I have become knowledgeable in D-STAR digital voice & data technology and I have presented over a dozen introduction / overview D-STAR presentations at ham club meetings in northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin & northwestern Indiana. We are actively working to put D-STAR repeaters on the air in northeast Illinois and will have some announcements soon. 

I have also started a Yahoo Group, Illinois Digital Ham, to focus VHF/UHF digital technology & activity. After 2 1/2 months the group has over 325 members and it has dozens of Links & Files for all digital modes, including D-STAR. A link to the group is below. 

I am planning to do a D-STAR presentation at November 10th meeting of the Lake County ARC in Merrillville and at the Ft. Wayne Hamfest on Saturday, November 18th. 

I would like to know what kind of D-STAR activity there is in Indiana, if there are any D-STAR repeaters on the air and who I might contact to discuss D-STAR in Indiana.  

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
