Thank you David. I'm going to get a hot-spot setup here for myself (since no one else here has D-Star) and just enjoying for myself. If anyone asks, I'll share what I'm enjoying but otherwise its not worth being shot down - amazing but true. So next time I go to Scotsdale I'll be sure to look up the machines I'll be able to work through.

Don, It would seem that the Northeast is having some trouble adopting the technology. I live in Tucson with Bill, but moved here from Rochester, NY, so I understand how you feel. I have a feeling that it is going to take some private owners to get DStar started up there. Here in Tucson we are very spoiled. We can go almost anywhere in the state, expecially the populated areas and not have to worry about DStar coverage. Then we go visit family and friends in PA and NY and remember how lucky we are..... I wish you luck in getting some DStar up there. 73's David, AC7DS _____ From: Donald James <studio...@earthlink.net> To: dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wed, July 14, 2010 4:40:08 PM Subject: RE: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] AZ commited to D-star! Bill, Lucky you! I envey you in that it sounds like your in a great community for a HAM! Unfortunatly where I am in north central New York I've given up on talking about it because its politly being shot down by most of the gys here. I get my radio tomorrow and I cant wait, I'll just keep the pleasure to myself while I talk to friends everywhere else.
