   Emergency Communications The System is the official host for National Weather Service SKYWARN net in the 25 county warning area of the Houston/Galveston NWS office. During severe weather events a net control operator is stationed at the NWS office to receive severe weather reports and issue warnings via the system. In the event of an emergency the South Coast Reflector System is available for exclusive use by the State of Texas and any served agencies in and for the affected area. During times of non-emergency use, the System is open for any licensed Amateur Radio operator to use on a non-exclusive basis. Please remember, this is a State-Wide resource, therefore, frequent pauses in communications are required to give other stations a chance to break in if needed. This system is user supported . Open for use by all amateurs. 


 The South Coast Reflector net is ever Friday night at 7:00 pm Central time.
Come join us on the net. Ramey KF5GXZ, Charlie WA5AIR, David KC5YTX  and Paul W5PTD  will be the net control for the South Coast Reflector. The purpose of this net is to promote and discuss Allstar nodes and anything related to Amateur Radio. Discussion topics can include introductions from hams who are new to Allstar; and DMR repeaters in your area; new DMR radios you have heard about or recently acquired, or any technical support you might need. This is a directed Net, so please wait to be acknowledged by Net Control before proceeding with your comments. Comments and questions of any subject related to ALLSTAR or Amateur Radio in general are acceptable. Anyone from any location is welcome and encouraged to check-in.


What is South Coast Reflector ?   It's largely the work, effort (and expense) of myself WA5AIR and others that help and donate to the system.
The system is a linked system of radios and allstar nodes. There is no membership requirement for using South Coast Reflector. The repeaters and links via the internet and also some RF Links. The system is made up of radios, hard line, antennas and hardware, that all cost money and of course, insurance premiums. Some equipment is donated, which greatly helps, but have you thought about the fuel and other vehicle expenses incurred, in order to make a trip out to one of the remote sites? It's easy for the rest of us, to take such expenses for granted. South Coast Reflector is a user sponsored and user supported system meaning in a very real sense, that you are part of what makes the South Coast Reflector system operate. Many of those using the South Coast Reflector have minimum personal resources and the nice part of Amateur Radio is, we know there are many such as yourself and you are still and will always be welcome on the system. If you and the many others like you could offer whatever amount you are capable of providing without question I would greatly appreciate it.

We are not a club or affiliated with any, but rather individual amateur radio operators bringing our distinctive skills, resources, knowledge base and combined efforts to help facilitate the repeater system.  The Internet Linking of Allstar nodes on the system is a large network of Allstar nodes and HUB’s .  The South Coast Reflector  welcomes Allstar nodes and repeater systems.   It’s nice to have the means of linking multiple amateur radio repeaters and simplex nodes together using Voice-Over-IP software and the internet.    Allstar makes interfacing a radio or repeater to the world simple and cost effective.  Allstar nodes are also permanently connected full-time to another VoIP system called IRLP.  The South Coast Reflector System  has an Echolink server 582584 that is open to all Links and Repeaters.  You must  pre-register to be allowed to access Echolink .   To be added to our allow list please contact Charlie, WA5AIR by clicking the following link below.  Server updates are done on the first Sunday night of each month. 
  To stay up to date with technology in 2023 we have added a DMR BrandMeister bridge Talk Group 312681 On SCR all digital modes there is an additional delay, please key up 3 seconds before talking and leave brakes between transmissions.    The system has requirements that must be met to maintain a high-quality sounding audio. The system administrators are available to work with any repeater or simplex node owner to help resolve interfacing or audio issues. If a system administrator tells you of a problem, please disconnect and correct the problem before returning to the system. The South Coast Reflector reserves the right to forbid the use of any repeaters, links or remote bases, or any voice over internet protocol by anyone who violates these rules, or anyone   who facilitates or encourages others to do so.
