CLUB DSTAR RULES & PROCEDURES
Announce When Disconnecting
While you might be finished with a reflector, another user may be monitoring and desiring that reflector. As a courtesy before disconnecting, please announce your intention to disconnect and wait momentarily for a response before disconnecting.
Disconnect when complete
When you are finished with a reflector, please disconnect or simply re-connect to the reflector REF026A.
20 Minute Rule
The D-Star repeater has an automatic 20-minute disconnect. After 20 minutes, regardless of the current activity, the repeater will return to reflector REF026A. Users that are participating in a QSO or are waiting to be called on a net should be aware of this. There will be no prior warning of the disconnection, but users will receive an announcement of the re-connection to REF026A.
