Hot Spots
There are numerous hot spots connected with the Ottawa D-STAR system. These ensure continuous D-STAR connectivity throughout Ottawa Valley. Hot spots are simplex frequency devices which extend all transmissions from VA3ODG and connect your transmissions to VA3ODG, even when you are out of range of the main repeaters. See approximate coverage on the network map below. The Hot Spots are:
