Has anyone used the 146.880 repeater lately?

Posted on January 2, 2016 12:00 by K4NHW

If you have been on the air lately, you may have heard some improvements with the 146.880 repeater! Our repeater guru’s have done it again! The KARC 2 meter repeater is now back on the air! So far, the signal reports have been coming in with promising data.

If you have a signal report that you would like to submit, go to the Repeater Signal Report Page and submit your information! We’d love to hear from you!

For those who may have never accessed our repeater, program the following information into your radio and get on the air!

You want to know where to find the repeater??? Right here!

146.880 (-) 100.0 PL Also available via EchoLink node 755017

See you on the air!

Assistance Needed! Can you help?

Posted on December 26, 2015 17:45 by K4NHW

On Saturday, January 2. 2016, we will need to move some club equipment from a site in Cherokee County down to another location in Cobb County. We will need a few extra hands with the move. If you are available on the morning of Jan 2nd, email Joe Grimes at wd4fgb@yahoo.com. We will be leaving from the Golden Corral (Kennesaw) after our regular weekly breakfast and heading to Cherokee County. The more people that we have pitch in, the quicker this will go!

Thank you for taking some time from your schedule and helping out!
