New Repeater!!!

New FM38 linked repeater is on the air!!
Welcome Janesville to the FM38 network. The frequency is 443.625 Tone 123.0
If that seems somewhat familiar it's because it's also the frequency for our Oshkosh repeater. If you have that saved in a memory channel already than you're done 🙂
Looking for people to test it in the Janesville/Beloit/Edgerton area and see how it works. For those keeping score this is repeater #20 for the network. Many thanks to the folks that help install, maintain and donate time and funds to this endeavor.

Allenton - Update 11-Jan-2024. System Outage 9-Jan-2024

n9deg - 2024-01-09 18:29 - (369 Reads)
Hey, great news. It was reported this morning that Allenton was back on air reconnecting Allenton, Baraboo, Ripon and Oshkosh, Fond du lac, Plymouth and Green Bay.
We are not sure what happed as no site visit was performed. Perhaps ice on the antenna that finally broke loose. Lets see what this next storm brings.

Sorry folks, the Allenton repeater went offline this morning for unknown reasons. Due to the system topography, Allenton being a 'Hub', this results in Allenton, Oshkosh, Baraboo and Ripon being offline. Fond du lac, Plymouth and Green Bay continue to operate locally, isolated from Milwaukee.
We will schedule a service call after the weather improves.
