The 146.760 repeater has been turned off due to high SWR from the antenna. The state will not allow us access to the tower until a new lease agreement is in place.. We are waiting for them to send it to us for Board approval. Until then the repeater will be left off to prevent damage.

Hi all,

Had an email from an amateur in Manawa (David Young - K9DLY) selling his HF and VHF stations. The gear for sale is a Yaesu 857D with 1,300 watt amp, a 75 watt 2 meter rig and 2 power supplies.
According to David, the "Station goes as a package" and "wants it to go to a good home"

Sharpen your negotiating skills and give David a call. Call David at 920-596-3885 or via email at tipdog31@gmail.com
