You're referring to the 2 meter repeater?

It was moved to another location years ago. No longer has multiple receive sites.

Oops !
Ok, well maybe we will leave the repeaters out of the testing loop for now.
Until we can find a Emcomm friendly repeater for VARA FM testing.

I believe AON is 1,000', new location is 500'. Stand alone repeater.
Also a UHF repeater at the 500' site.

I've heard talk about adding receive sites. The monthly club meetings are open, if you would like to attend.
