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.]

D-STAR Field Day Participants,
With just over 24 hours before D-STAR Field Day begins, the
excitement is growing. Everyone is thinking about what they need to
pack. The generators have all had their oil changed and the games are
about to begin.
A suggestion for reflector use. 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.comhttp://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. Do some demonstrations before
everyone else starts!

p.s. I'll be W4GR 7A GA and will probably hang around either of the
REF002A or REF002B ports.
Good Luck in the Contest!
