Our 443.650MHz repeater is back up on Oneida Heights and is back on the air.

The Downtown receive for 146.76 is also active.

Thanks to Rick and Mike for helping get our repeater on the air!

Location: Pavilion #1, Sunset Park, Kimberly. Starts at 11am. FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT!
Please bring a dish to pass.

The club will provide Brats, burgers, hot dogs, corn and soda pop and water.
We typically do a fox hunt so... bring your fox hunting gear.
If you want to show off some gear, bring it out and get on the air.

It's that time of year again when us cyclists try to make it around Lake Winnebago as quickly as we can.

The repeater committee has been asked if the 146.76 repeater can be used to provide coverage.

Please keep the repeater clear during the event; consider using the 145.330 repeater instead if possible.

Thanks!
Andy, AJ9L
