We are testing the replacement repeater for the Little White repeater. Currently, the replacement repeater is at the valley bottom and the mountain top repeater is turned off. The plans are to have the replacement repeater at the mountain top site within the next week.
The replacement repeater runs with Access (Encode) Tone 88.5 and Optional Squelch Tone 88.5
We have replaced the batteries and this is stage two of the project.
Please plan to join us on Thursday night for the next OCARC general meeting, October 26 @ 7:30 PM.
Main Kelowna Firehall, side meeting room, 2255 Enterprise Way @ 1930 hours.
A benefit of being a club member is finding help from other members.
Many thanks to VE7EQN - Chris, VE7ENP - Tom , VE7VZ – Doug and VE7JXC - John with the antenna removal - Don Yule.
Googd Day,
Thank you all for your time effort in making this year’s JOTA a success! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience to a younger generation.
