TWO IMPORTANT THINGS FROM WB4GBI

 

Hello, everyone!  I apologize for not writing a blog entry in a looooonnnnnggggg time. This thing called work keeps getting in the way. However, basketball season is almost over, you’ll probably grow tired of hearing me on the radio so much!  J

 

There are a couple of important things I would like to pass along.

 

 

First, Please attend a garage sale to benefit Matthew Kirby, WB4IOB, Sam (WB4HAP)'s brother and the long time co-owner of the 146.73 repeater. Matthew has had to leave his home and move into an apartment due to his health issues. He has a large collection of radio equipment, test equipment, and parts. He also has a large collection of tubes! The garage sale will be held THIS SATURDAY at his home at 103 Woodrush Avenue in North Knoxville. Sam's widow, Debbie, and her daughter, Jan (who used to be a ham!) are conducting the sale. They are not setting fixed prices for Matt's equipment, instead they are asking for donations which will be solely for Matt's expenses. Please go by on Saturday and help support Matt.

 

Secondly,  the audio problem on 146.625 has been fixed. The audio on .625 is working great now. However,  while working on the repeater, the ID'er developed problems and had to be removed. So, when you use 146.625, please identify by saying..."This is (your callsign)  on the WB4GBI repeater." I will be repairing or replacing the ID'er as soon as I can. Thank you for helping the repeater legal!
