As about 1200 hrs today, Feb 5th 2022 Eastern Maine has a new VHF repeater for use by the Amateur Radio community!
Let’s step back a tad.
George Richards, N1ARO has only been licensed for a relatively short time.….7 months. But he fell hard for the hobby! Located in Hancock George and his wife Nicole work their property, Barefoot Farms with enthusiasm and love of the area. George has taken advantage of their location with it’s elevation by adding a 65’ tower and has been working VHF nets with ease and enjoying nightly simplex roundtables.
Today he fired up his new N1ARO 2M repeater on 146.835 with a PL of 110.9 -offset. Using an ICOM repeater he is repeating at 50W thru a Diamond X510 antenna, and Echolink will be added real soon!
And…digital will be coming soon.
So, if your in Eastern Maine dial up the N1ARO repeater and see what happens. Another tool in our tool box!
Yeah…George has been bit by the Ham bug…hard.
73!
