ITS ON THE AIR!

IT’S ON THE AIR!!

 

This afternoon, shortly after 12 noon, the new 146.94 repeater antenna was installed! Initial reports show a MAJOR improvement in .94’s signal strength and receiving capability!  From a mobile in Cleveland to a mobile in Church Hill, all reports indicate that 146.94 is back at full strength. It’s about time, huh? J

 

THANK YOU to all who helped…especially to those who contributed to the WB4GBI repeater fund. Thanks also to those who helped check the coverage this afternoon, and to Kevin, W4KEV, who helped me with checking and retuning the duplexer earlier this summer and helping me find the problem with the antenna.

 

If you get a chance, check the website (www.wb4gbi.com) and look at the pictures of the antenna installation. It’s not easy getting a 20 foot antenna up to its 250 foot above-ground home on the tower! Kerry Klimecki of Tower Services did his usual great job. I have used Kerry’s company for over 15 years for my tower needs.

 

So, for all of the nets… SKYWARN, METERS, SCRES, Blount County ARES, the Breakfast club, the Sunday Evening APRS net, and for the hams who just enjoy using the 146.94 repeater…it’s back!!
