10-70 Repeater Northern NJ - update
« on: October 27, 2016, 08:05:21 AM »

Hi all;
For anyone interested in the mystery of what happened to the 10-70 repeaters on Skyline Drive in Oakland NJ, here is the latest:
I sent an e-mail to the contact provided on their website. I received an almost immediate reply from Joyce KA2ANF:

>>Hi Frank,
Yes, the repeaters are off the air due to an issue with the company who owns the tower.
We are working to find an alternate site to put them back on the air.

We will let you know when we get the re-located.

Thanks for reaching out.

73,
Joyce KA2ANF​<<

So, it's not really a power company issue, but a tower company issue. I hope that the club will revive once a new site is found. I really hate to see anything Amateur Radio die.

Thanks for the update. The 10-70 repeater had great coverage. When I lived out that way years ago, I was a member of the 10-70 club. We used to have club meetings at the American Legion on Valley Road in Clifton. If you see Joyce, please send her my regards.

Thanks

That's where I hung my hat when I lived in New Jersey in the mid 1970's.  Good coverage and lots of friendly folks.  I hope they can find another site soon.
