There's been some chatter about this, and many of us old-timers have posted that it shouldn't work but enough folks have posted it does that it makes me wonder.
I don't remember for sure, but when the JA gateways first appeared in the database, I'm pretty sure individual JA users did not, but now they do, many with JA area and zone callsigns. Thus one possibility is that this info has somehow been dumped into the international gateway db and thus provides one-touch callsign routing information to get dv streams from us to them. At least two of the j-landers claimed to have been worked with one-touch replying are currently homed to wb4hro. A second possibility then is that the wb4hro gateway (custom?) software (or dplus on that machine) is somehow providing a "worm-hole" to j-land. I can't think of why else they would be homed there. 73 -- John --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com, "n0so" <n...@...> wrote: > > I had a nice QSO with JA7NJN (Yoh) while mobile one day last week.
