10-8-05	146.940 Repeater back on the air. PL 100.0 Well, after a lot of work and a lot of help from others, the .94 machine is on the air. Although we can not discuss repeater locations on the air, the machine is located near the airport and on a high structure. It seems to have a very good coverage area. We are planning to expand this machine. However, we are under a temporary contract and nothing is permanent yet. We are working on it though.

9-30-05	Installed new repeater. After working on getting this thing on the air, we finally got the brackets and mounts built. It took a long time, a lot of work and a lot of money to get this right. Only problem is that I am not sure if the AC unit will last as long as we need it to.
