The D-Star project in Central Scotland was first started in January
2008.
The first applications for GB7DG and GB7DE were submitted to the RSGB late November 2007 for UHF operating.
A decision was taken in January 2008 to submit further applications for VHF at both GB7DE and GB7DG.
GB7DG Port C
VHF came on-line 14th February 2008. This was the first 2m D-Star system in the UK.
In March 2008 an application was
submitted for GB7DW a 2m D-Star system to cover Ayrshire.
September 2008 was a major milestone for our network as
GB7DE was finally connected to the internet, enabling all 3 central belt systems to be connected.
