A group of D-Star enthusiasts in Gippsland are forging the way ahead with D-Star and its becoming a reality for Amateur Radio operators in the Latrobe Valley Victoria
Brian VK3BBB, Barry VK3BDG and Gordon VK3NUG have been running hotspots in Morwell, Traralgon and Rosedale , with next step an elevated hotspot.
The boys have been looking for real estate to install the hotspot that will service the Latrobe Valley
The big news is that I have been informed that a D-Star Hotspot was installed at an elevated location looking over the valley recently
The Callsign is VK3BBB B Frequency is 438.9oo Mhz No Offset
The hotspot has a permalink to Reflector 30C (REF030C) for those with DVAPs, Dongles, and other D-Star Homebrew systems
This will enable Hams from all over the world to drop in chat to Gippsland Hams and vice a versa…its all fun on D-Star
If you’re travelling and / or staying in the Latrobe Valley please send your location, and signal report in to us at the website
by emailing Peter vk3tq@bigpond.com and we will forward them on
We will keep you updated with the progress in the Valley Good Luck Fella’s and thanks for your work
