W8OAK 2m REPEATER BACK ON THE AIR!
Posted 9/13/2023 by KD8ATK
Open Announcement
The Good News:
The W8OAK Repeater is back in operation! The filter was installed today which corrected the issue with the repeater not passing the audio to the main transmitter.
The not so good news:
While the repeater is on the air, it is doing so at a somewhat less receive range. The voter that selects the receive site is not functioning, therefore we're currently operating with only one receive radio. The radio we selected is the most central site. What this means is you may need more power to get into the repeater depending on your location and obstructions.
Additional good news:
The ARPSC Thursday night net will return to the W8OAK 2m repeater starting 9/14/2023!
