Hello All,
Thanks to Kevin WA6FAF we are now running dual repeaters on AO-51, as per the schedule below. The 145.880/435.150 repeater is for QRP operations only –unless– you are contacting a Scout station during the Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) this weekend.
The early part of this week is a GREAT time for new and/or inexperienced operators with simple/portable gear to make some contacts on the QRP repeater! Some hams are reluctant to attempt contacts because of the normally fast pace on 435.300, so here is a chance for folks to make some contacts they might otherwise not even attempt…
Encourage people to make use of this mode–both for QRP and for JOTA!!!
Operators on the East coast can expect some early morning interruptions on 435.150 while we download telemetry.
