Good afternoon group members,
Hows it going. My name's Ben. I just joined the group I am thinking going head first into D-Star. I have thought also about sponsoring a D-Star In Monticello which its about 45min. from me. The antenna for the repeater would be about 180' up.
Anyways, I am still trying to find info D-Star and found a good video on you tube about D-Star.
Heres my go kit idea. Its more of an equipment list but from what I am told its a great start! the stars mean I have that radio already
