As far as I know KD0IAN is the only D-Star repeater in Iowa, although I've heard rumblings of something coming in Cedar Rapids.
Feel free to link to our machine at any time (KD0IAN). Most of us locals hang out on the B port. I run Hans' perpetual link script on our C port to keep it connected to REF001C. I'll be switching it to REF030B for Dayton traffic after Monday's scheduled stress test. It will probably be left on 30B until the Tuesday after Dayton. We have a fairly stable connection, knock on wood, and I often connect my hotspot based repeater to it when I'm playing around. Dongles, Hotspots and DVAP's all work well. -Mike J.
