Greetings one and all. As you all are well aware, we are at 562 gateways that communicate with the USROOT as of 22FEB2010.
This is not going to be a state of the union kind of thing here, but more or less a here is what we have at this point in time! So far, there is a maximum reported number of registered call signs; 12453, avg is at 12306 DELETION shows; 3879 from the sync_mng files... Again, the trust team has been trying to get some clean-up action going here, but there's still some wicked stuff out there that is throwing the gang for a loop at this time.... Hang tight, there are some really good people on the drawing board trying to solve this delete record issue, right now, it's just gona have to take some time here. So far the USROOT has gone for several months now without a MAJOR INCIDENT..... Ken, WB4FAY, has put out information for Net Controllers and admins to be able to download the new dplusreport update (Ver 0.8b) http://k4dso.com/util/DplusReport.pdf Please be sure to check the information out if you are involved in one of the many nets out there on D-Star reflectors.... Gateway runnings..... I can also report that KJ4ACN in Lakeland Florida has been running solid for a long time now, had to go do a 'uptime' and got the following report.... [r...@dstargw dstar]# uptime 01:13:19 up 303 days, 22:32, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.12, 0.04 [r...@dstargw dstar]# 303 days since it's last power cycle (reboot for you windows people) WOW. Coming up in 62 days, one full year of service to the folks in Central Florida. I am sure there are other gateways out there that have been running just as long, if not longer.... Keep up the good work. Other news, ALL IS WELL. Robin has been working on the new DV_AP (Digital Voice Access Point) Those of you who came to Florida for the Orlando Ham Fest had a chance to see several of the DVAP's in action around the grounds... and at the HRO booth. With the production of the DVAP, Dplus has been updated also for the DVAPers out there as well... Admins: check the G2 Status page for any issues your gateway might be having.... Need the web site, please contact me off list, I will send you the link... those who know it, pass it off list to other admins as well, this way we keep the constant asking for the website... That's all the email space I am wanting to take at this time. Enjoy D-Star, there's more to come!!!! Remember this, be sure to support your local D-Star Gateway, the admins put more money and time into this then your thinking they do.... Internet connections are not free you know.... And always, thank the owners and admins who work to keep this mode of communications going strong. It's the right thing to do. And by all means, if you're a new Dstar user, or Admin, and you have questions.... by all means ASK AWAY! We (Admins) love to help you the user out, and make the most of not just our investment, but yours as well. There are several D-Star Information Portals Florida: http://www.florida-dstar.info South East US: www.dstarinfo.com Dstar Users Site: http://www.dstarusers.org I forgot the UK and the EU sites, but search the groups you should be able to find the information.
