Repeaters for Beginners

Monday, November 28, 2016

Tonight we discussed repeaters. We had 8 check-ins: K9EQP, KE0KDI, KE0KMR (Relay via SMS), WA4HND, N2COL, N0FCK, KE0KMK, and KE0ANG. Thanks to Al (WA4HND) and Paul (N2COL) for their insight into repeater use.

Here is a wealth of information on repeater use: http://w0rrz.org/index.php/beginners-guide-to-repeaters-
