All,

The link radios at Fisher Peak have been replaced and for the time being, we will be linking full-time to the 3 Dog Repeater group repeaters in Virginia.

We have some positive news, and a few new sites that we can’t wait to share with everyone, and will be doing just that once everything is solidified!

73’s Every one and Happy Holidays

Due to several issues with various repeaters, please discontinue the nightly net immediately.  There are issues at several sites that could potentially cause either net control or others trying to check into the net to not be heard system wide.

We’re working on a plan to get everything back up and running the way it should.  Once the sites are back to normal, we’ll resume some net activities.  Thanks and extra thanks to those who have continued to help as net control.

Thanks,
Jeremy

The link radio for the Concord UHF (444.775 MHz) and VHF (147.210 MHz) repeaters is out-of-service.  No ETA on repair, but as soon as it is known I will post it to the website.

Concord UHF & VHF will remain in stand-alone mode until the link radio can be repaired or replaced.
