<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote">Thanks to Mark McGregor, K9YK, and several other individuals, the W9ARP D-STAR repeaters are once again linked to the internet! Also, thanks to Tim Miller, N9DKI, for all of his help and to the Purdue Amateur Radio Club, W9YB, for hosting the internet
end of the link!</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Mark reports that the Internet link to the repeater site is a very solid connection with a stronger
WiFi signal than ever before. The D-STAR G3 server is up and running again after being offline and shut down for
almost a year and a half, but it all seems to be working again. <div>

As always, the W9ARP DPLUS Dashboard is here:
<a href="https://w9arp.ddns.net:4433/" target="_blank">https://w9arp.ddns.net:4433/</a><br><br><div style="font-size:12.8px">Just a reminder for those of you with D-STAR radios to please unlink our local 146.730- repeater (W9ARP-C) from a reflector or other repeater when you are finished listening or using it. It is there for everyone to use for linking, but please be considerate of others and disconnect (unlink with the "U" command) when you are done. This leaves the repeater in its "normal" state and ready to be used for local-only communications, or for others to actively link or use routing for connected communications.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">The W9ARP-B repeater (444.300+ MHz) is normally linked to reflector 024B, the Indiana statewide reflector. It may be unlinked for other use, but will automatically connect back to 24B when the repeater is unused for a period of time and not linked to another system. <span style="font-size:12.8px">The 2M D-STAR repeater (W9ARP-C) does not have this function, and will remain in its state (either linked or unlinked) indefinitely until changed by another user.</span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">W9ARP-B (443.500+) : Normally linked to REF024B, the Indiana statewide reflector</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">W9ARP-C (146.730-): Local use; normally unlinked, to be used for linking to other repeaters and reflectors, callsign routing, experimenting, etc., by local hams on demand</span><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">The normal state of the 2M D-STAR repeater should be unlinked, unless it is being used (either actively or just monitoring) by local hams. Don't hesitate to use it for linking and experimenting, as that is what it's there for. But please be considerate of others and unlink when you're done.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Thanks for helping make ham radio a hobby we can all enjoy and share! And a very special thank you to K9YK, N9DKI, and others who brought the Internet connection back to the W9ARP gateway!</div>
