Just let everyone
know that the DStar repeaters are working well. We have
some
interesting projects coming including another DStar repeater
VE6WRO
coming in the new year. This will most likely be replacing
the FM
repeater. VE6RPT near Cochrane is working well along with
our
Mountain Park repeaters. I have had a lot of interest in
the
crossband repeating for DStar and this brings up some other
ideas that
I am working on and will post them in the crossband section a
little
later on. I had a hardrive crash about a month ago and I
have
pretty much got everything back to normal except for the FTP
site which
I will probably work on over the Xmas holidays. Our coffee
gathering will still be on as usual so if you have some time
come on
down and join us at the usual time and location. With that
our
group sends its best wishes to you all and hope Santa is good to
you
(maybe a 2820 under the tree) and all the best in the New
Year. Dale/VE6CPK

Recently
we
had
a
Shaw
Internet
connection
put
in
at
the
repeater
site.
Before
it
was
a
wireless
Rogers
connection
which
worked
reasonably
well
but
did
give
us
issues
from
time
to
time.
The
new
connection
has
been
up
for
a
week
now
and
test
are
great!!!
Asking
our
supporters
about
the
new
connection
and
all
agree
that
its
working
much
better.
The
Wildrose Network was the first private
group to put up a DStar repeater/gateway system in Canada and
we
believe that we continue with new and inovative ideas within
our group
for all to enjoy. An upcoming annoucement will be made
shortly so
stay tune,,,

Recentluy we found a
certificate error would occurr when trying to log into DStar to
register or to access your info using Windows IE. I don't
have an
exact answer but in the meantime we found Firefox and Seamonley
to work
OK. Other browsers may work as well.

A
new FTP site has
been implemented for Ham Radio use by the Wildrose Network. Dale
VE6CPK
is hosting the FTP site. This site will be a collection of
files,
info, pictures and whatever else is related. For
information
about the FTP site a file located on the main folder is
available here. It can
also be accessed when
logging into the FTP site and will usually have the latest
information. For access you will need to send Dale VE6CPK
a message with your call sign and password. This FTP site
is an
experiemnt on my part so your input and use will determine its
future. Enjoy, I look forward to your comments.
