I'm going to be headed there in the near future for a few days...
Although there are many other things to do there, I usually bring
along
radio gear, that will include D-STAR for the first time this year.
I'm looking to tinker around on W7AES-C or W7AES-B, probably to link
to
a repeater in Cincinnati "just because I can" to make contact with a
few
people here, and then drop it.
Trying to get a feel for how busy those systems are, and how receptive
the locals are to this kind of activity.
The wide-coverage stuff out there is "famous" (relative to anything we
have out here in 8-land) and it's expensive to maintain, and those who
pay should play. I definitely get that -- just trying to get a
"barometer" of the D-STAR environment there.
While I'm thinking about it...how about the same questions for the
systems in Kingman/AZ?
