    The repeater has moved off the KSDB-FM tower

    The Motorola Quantar that has carried 147.255 MHz for years was taken off the KSDB-FM site at Kansas State University and moved to a Riley County tower site.

    The minutes record that it came back online. They do not record that the move was finished: the backup machine was down at the time, and an earlier forecast had put completion in mid-2024.

    Repeater site: A Riley County tower, since November 2023

    Confirm the site, the antenna height, the transmit power and the coverage. Every published figure in the archive describes the old location and is now either wrong or unknowable.

    Unverified. No check on record.

    This is the most consequential technical fact in the Society’s records, and it existed in exactly one place: a PDF of meeting minutes. Every HTML page on the old website went on describing the KSDB tower.
