I’m currently moving the 420 network servers over to a high availability computer network. This way, all the servers will have real-time backup servers, ready to take up the slack if the main server goes off-line.

While copying some files, I noticed that I installed thebridge on Nov 16, 2018 @ 14:43 UTC. That was the first server we had, so that would be the official beginning of the 420 radio network.

Since that time, we’ve setup a dstar reflector, and linked it to the echolink conference *420* via WL4DX-L, and the same thing on DMR via VE1KLR-L.

As of the time of writing this, the network is 3 weeks old. It started during a qso on the VE1KLR-L on Echolink. Now we have an Echolink conference server, a website, and a D-star reflector. It’s really growing fast, and coming along.
