News Update|
Due to the long wait to get the tower constructed, we have decided to sell the 224.220 and the 1290.00 MHz repeaters. The 1290.00 MHz Repeater has been purchased by KB6XN. It will be installed along with his other repeaters at 9000 Feet over looking Las Vegas, NV. This will server a greater area and many more amateurs then we would have. This is a better fit for this repeater. The 224.220 MHz Repeater has been purchased by WA3LBI. It will be located in Perkasie, PA. In the future, we may decide to pursue this project again. We will keep you advised.

News Update|
The construction project, for the tower that will host both the 224.220 MHz (- offset) PL 110.9 and the 23 Centimeters at 1290.00 MHz, has a new contractor. Maybe we'll get these repeaters on the air. The spring weather is upon us so we hope to get the new controller installed on both 53.130 MHz (- offset) and 145.110 MHz (- offset) PL 110.9 repeaters. We have plans to install a pre-amp on the 145.110 MHz system. This should help in some of the low area. If this works as planed, we will then proceed with an increase of power on the system. This will increase our coverage area.
