The Awendaw, Dillon, Columbia and Little Mountain repeaters will automatically link to the reflector. The other repeaters will require a local operator to bring up the link and take it down at the end of the net. If you have not registered to operate on a D-Star Gateway, you will need to register with your local D-Star repeater.
Don’t forget – no D-Star radio – use your DV-Dongle. Questions or problems

Southeastern Weather Net
The Southeastern Weather Net is focused on significant weather events in the southeastern area of the United States. This is an area that is frequented by hurricanes, tornadoes and other sever weather. The Net meets weekly on Sunday evenings at 9:00pm ET, 8:00pm CT on REF002 A.
When weather events do not exist, the Southeastern Weather Net focuses on training and creation of procedures for support of large scale events utilizing D-STAR as the communications medium. During non-emergency periods, the Net allows users to practice operation of a wide area directed net with linked repeaters.
The Southeastern Weather Net operates a little differently from other nets. The net is called alphabetically by state. Users are asked to check in by the "quick key" method. A "quick key" is unique to D-STAR in that as a station transmits, their call sign is sent. Taking advantage of that, all a user needs to do is to key down for about a second. The Net Control Stations are watching the transmission logs and can see each user as they key down. After all of the "quick keys," users are then asked to provide their name, location and any traffic for the net by voice.
On alternating nets, we re attempting to have a guest speaker.
