Is there an acceptable range of frequencies for simplex? [ED - Yes, don't use 146.52 (see the rules) and stay out of any repeater frequencies, satellite sub bands, cw/ssb segments ... other than that, have fun. In many areas 145.67 mHz. is the D-STAR contact frequency, I'd start there. In some areas there is little or no use of the bottom of 430 (91AD goes there, I would venture other D-STAR 70cm radios do as well.]

From what I've seen, the C modules on the reflectors are where a number of repeaters are linked full time. To keep from bothering these folks, why don't we try to stay away from the C module. And we probably ought to stay off of the non- North American Reflectors. > > Suggested Reflector Usage > > REF001A Voice & Simultaneous Data > REF001B Data Only > REF002A Voice & Simultaneous Data > REF002B Data Only > REF004A Voice & Simultaneous Data > REF004B Data Only > > Simultaneous Data is those who are going for 3 point contacts, where they can type and talk at the same time. > > If you've misplaced the D-STAR Field Day Rules or Update, you can download them at www.DSTARINFO.com<http://www.DSTARINFO.com>, there's even some sample logs. > > Don't forget that D-STAR Field Day goes the entire 27 hour period, no matter when you start setup.
