Repeater Update

The repeater has been put back onto the air temporarily while the MARC repeater is being repaired. It is still on frequency 146.805 negative offset, no tone.

Useful Documents

A few useful files have been uploaded to the site, and links have been placed on the (you guessed it) Links page. One of the files is a directory of local repeaters for anyone that would like to use it.
