The W8SHI D-Star Repeater System has its own Website at W8SHI Home , check it out for detail information. W8SHI is a "Gateway System", thus allowing you to talk to the world through the repeaters. The W8SHI Module C Repeater (145.240 MHz) is usually linked to Reflector 24 Module C, except for when the net meets on Mondays, when it is linked to module A. The Module B Repeater (444.300 MHz) is currently linked to Reflector 24 B which is being used by the Indiana D-Star group. Users such as mobile stations traveling through the area may unlink a repeater if it is not in use and relink it to another reflector of their choice. When the repeater is unlinked it will be automatically re-linked to the original reflector modules after a short time.

The Michigan D-Star Net is held at 8PM every Monday on Reflector 24 Module A (The Michigan Reflector). The Indiana D-STAR Net is held at 7:30PM first and third Thursdays of month on Reflector 24 Module B. The Central Ohio Net is held each Sunday at 8PM on Ref 38A.
