[Dstar] First World Wide D-Star Net

[Ray T. Mahorney]

Eric WD8KNL who is the admin for the KD8DRG system were discussing that this morning and probably what should have happened was that you folks on RWN should have been called first but times don't get really friendly for you folks until after 12:00 EST which is currently 22:00 EDT.  When we go off DST and you folks go back to DST then it works a bit better for us as well as noon AEST becomes 20:00 here in the eastern US but over all it went well.

  Gday,

  Here are the results of the first World Wide D-Star repeater net.
  >From all accounts it was a great success.

  If there is another World Wide D-Star net I'll request that it be organized for a more friendly time for this part of the world.

  Cheers

  The first worldwide D-Star net was held yesterday, 2008-05-11.  The net went smoothly with no glitches in the reflector 001 infrastructure provided by Kermit, W9XA.  The new dplus and multi-gateway reflector code was well stress tested with no problems.



  We tried a new check in paradigm.  Users were called on each individual repeater and were instructed to key down one second with no audio to check in.  They were then called individually to provide first name and location.  All in all, it worked better than I expected.  Admins can check their /var/log/dplus.log file for all of the details of the net.



  Statistics for the net:  28 gateways with 61 RF checkins, 17 DV Dongle checkins.  Elapsed time was one hour and 36 minutes.



  Check in details (sorry for any name/location typos):
