Jillian, KM6UWL, joined us from the KSU ham radio club. She would like for us to pass along her contact information to anyone interested in the KSU club. We should especially keep this in mind for newly licensed hams at our testing sessions. Repeater Placement
Different ideas were discussed about a long-term location for the digital repeater including adding it to the tower our other repeater is currently on and looking at a new tower. A couple of members were going to follow up with our contacts to discuss different options.
