That's good news. I've noticed Steve Ford has written small updates about news in the D-Star world from time to time, including references to node adapters, hotspots, etc.
Back in the day, QST would have a regular column devoted to a significant new mode until that mode was well into the mainstream. That doesn't seem to be happening any more, or maybe D-STAR isn't "significant" enough yet. But they have run a few feature stories, including my "Operating D-STAR" back in 2008, when it was brand new to almost all of us. And my reviews of the IC-92 and ID-880, and the DVDongle, went well beyond standard radio reviews in length and depth to discuss the special features of D-STAR. So one way or another the ARRL and QST are giving D-STAR its due. I guess we'd all like to see more.
