How are you hearing the W5WQ repeater?? Let Jeffery, N5ZNT know of your experience and let him know of any ideas you have to make it better for our area.
New Repeater, W5WQ, in
Brookhaven, MS. 146.85/146.25 - no tone. Antenna is atop the
Industrial Park Water Tank.
Installed on November 20, 2006. New hardline was installed on January 5, 2008 and new antenna installed on February 9, 2008. Try it when in the Brookhaven Area. Picture shows the repeater setup and ready for the world. Let us know how it sounds and what distances you were able to reach it.
