Digital Voice Reflector Lists by N6JET

These started the same way the talkgroup lists did — wading through full network host files to find the handful of reflectors I would actually key up. The registries run to thousands of entries and do not sort by language. So I edited them down to the English-speaking ones for my own use, and I am sharing them in case they save someone else the same afternoon.

Computer script sorted from each network’s own host file down to the reflectors in English-speaking countries — the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. Four networks in one place. View a list in your browser, or download the CSV.

A note on how these were sorted

Only the M17 registry publishes a country for each reflector. XLX carries a free-text country the operator typed. URF and YSF carry none at all. Where a list has no country of its own, each entry was read from the strongest signal available — an amateur callsign or club name in the hostname, then a country domain, then a server-address lookup — and every row carries a CONFIDENCE and an EVIDENCE column saying which of those it rests on.

A note on the weakest evidence

A server-address lookup tells you where a machine sits, not whose community runs it. Plenty of reflectors run on hosting in another country, and that error runs one way — toward calling something American when it is not. Rows resting on the address alone are marked Low, and one known example survives in the URF list: URF718 reads as United States and is an Italian club.

A note on freshness

These were compiled in August 2026 from each network’s current host file. Reflectors come and go, so treat the counts as a snapshot rather than a live figure. One thing worth knowing while you are here: the old YSF registry at register.ysfreflector.de no longer resolves, which is the address written into the YSFGateway crontab and the Pi-Star and WPSD update path. The YSF list here was built from the working mirror at pi-star.de.
