New repeater in area and This month's Meeting
If you program "STN603 D" into your local machine and key up, in the future if anyone else keys up on "STN603 D" Starnet will find you on what ever repeater you are using around the world.
Starnet uses the callsign tracking that is naturally part of IRCDDB and you can be on any machine either trust or non trust that is running IRCDDB. Please note that Dvdongles cannot use this feature, but DVAP's that are running
G4KLX Gateway can.
The Starnet group we have active is "STN603 D" I chose D for Dstar, should be easy to remember. Please note connecting and activating Starnet should not be taken lightly. I will be like a big party line, and you will ring everyone's
phone all at once. This should work well for nets and opportunities where every one needs to be talking together (emergency situation for example). Consider all machines connected as one and all key folks needed even if they are out of the area.
I think we should try a coordinated test of this new repeater with a net. Possibly Deuce can coordinate this.
Please note that because next Tuesday night is valentines day/night, This months Meeting will be Saturday morning, Feb 11, at 8:30 am at Exeter Hospital's cafeteria. This location was chosen because it is usually not busy like a restaurant would be on a weekend
We also need to support our ECOM partners and be friends with the hospitals. We may have a DRATS expert at the meeting, so possibly this meeting will have a good technical discussion. We will also continue last months discussion.
See you there
