Use your ICOM 9100/7100, "STAR Boarded" with a non DSTAR HF, or the DSTAR box from NC or Flex Radio with NW Digital ThumbDV (ed).

We routinely have two way communications coast to coast and North to South, South to Canada. We have had two way contacts to Europe and Japan. And have been heard in South Africa.

We are on each band only for 5 min. or so as to spend less time, if the band is dead we move on earlier. You can go back to a good freq after the net. MONITOR REF030C to coordinate. WE may need to move early or if the freq is busy. We also use the following web page to keep track of who and where we are at - http://hf.dstar-relay.net/ . You also can check-in to http://hf.dstar-relay.net/ anytime 24/7 to find a DSTAR HF Ham to talk to.

We will have a PreNet for 30m before the start of the scheduled time. This PreNet is for "Free Form" contacts. One should check the web site http://hf.dstar-relay.net sign in and find a working frequency to work on. When the net starts at the scheduled time, please join the net and follow the frequencies.
