  • build a new controller and finish writing its firmware
  • move Echolink here!

Repeater Replacement[edit | edit source]

Replacing the repeater with a modern one, upgrading the cavity filters, switching to hardline, adding Echolink and IRLP


Need to talk with LMARS repeater guy for ideas on repeater. Needs hardline (Heliax?). Should be placed in penthouse to reduce inefficiency.

This is intended to be funded via ARDC grant or other outside source.
