Repeater Trustee:  K3EP

Repeater Technical Committee:  Rich Corrigan (KH7RC); Kelly Alford (KA7KDA); Harry Kern (KI4JVE); and Sig Gates (N4SIG).  We are looking for some members who are technically qualified and who may be interested in joining the Technical Committee.  If you are one, please email K3EP.

This repeater system is expensive to operate. If you are a regular user we request you to join our association or give a donation to help maintain the repeater system.

Repeater Etiquette: Old timers and newcomers alike should periodically review this Repeater Etiquette page.

If you hear a problem with the repeater, please contact any of the Technical Committee or a Control Operator. The control operators have the codes to shut any repeater off or turn off the whole system.
