Oswald Dome Repeater Site!

Thanks to everyone who dedicated their Friday morning for the door replacement project at the Oswald Dome Repeater site… Safe to say, it was a complete success.

As an added bonus, we were able to get the 442.250 machine back on the air. We replaced the old Repeater with a Yaesu Fusion Repeater running in dual mode allowing it to be used in FM analog or C4FM Fusion Digital. Just a reminder, there is “NO HANG TIME” on this machine. 

442.250, plus offest, pl tone 118.8hz
