All pi-star’s with the WPSD dashboard are not able to connect to most YSF reflectors, so the HemetHangout 59073 is not accessible at this time. XLX618 is accessible via DMR with WPSD dashboard. Anyone running the original pi-star dash should not have any problem connecting to 59073 HemetHangout in any mode. Additionally, the XLX to WiresX bridge is also down due to the same issue. This means that XLX618 isn’t bridged to KE6JGM’s WiresX system either. All of this should be resolved soon, but for tomorrows Digital Only Net please get in via either our club repeater or Bob’s repeater. This issue is beyond my control and also affects Most YSF reflectors so I’m sure they are working on the problem.
