It started in Oct. 2007. A german Ham Group from DOK F10 Werra Meissner ,taught me about Dstar. They just had a few Dstgar Radios at this time. I bought my fist D800, and traveled to Germany to find out more. after I came back I got the VHF Dstar repeater and Controller and Burlington was on the Air with my call sign AI4UE. KB4HG was already working at that time. I try to learn fast all I could about Dstar. In Jan 2008 until March the Repeater was without Duplexer on the City Garage K4EG. then back to the House, Duplexer Testing . Adding UHF also.. Then it moved to the final position at the Fire Tower Road, Snow Camp in Aug. 2008 Under the Eyes of Don Miller, HF Specialist all around, that System, now AK4EG, is doing better and better. We have spent a lot of time and money already on it to have it , where it is now ! And we're still not Finished! Also thanks to KJ4BEE, K4LAL and the Software master Ken KC4YOZ and Torsten DG1HT and Markus from Hamburg, Without these Hams with Amateur Radio in the Bood, it would not be like it is now, in Burlington, NC Big thank you to all, AI4UE Repeater Admin of AK4EG Repeater installed and on gateway G2 , first time April 2008 |
