The CCARC voted to sponsor the Wrens D-Star repeater system if a sponsor is still needed and if the club would not incur any costs. The club will provide technical on-site support and other efforts necessary to keep the system online. GAARES and GPB will take care of the big ticket hardware items (antennas, feed line, repeaters, computers, and controllers). These systems have amazing capability for Emergency Communications and are being put up in the entire southeast (Al, SC, FL, NC, GA). John Davis has agreed to give the CCARC a presentation on D-Star at some point in the future
