Repeater Coverage

Locations within the green circle should be 100% copy; Locations between the red & green circles may have some spottiness. This was generated by John Crockett, W3KH, based on the new location of the K4JLA antenna.

K4JLA IS ON THE AIR

On February 8, 2012, the power switch was thrown on the Club's new 2 meter repeater located on the ETV tower in Whitestone, SC.  The antenna is at a height of 1414 feet MSL, 600 feet AGL.  The repeater has a temporary tone of 123.0.  The assigned tone of 91.5 will be set in about a week.  From all reports the repeaters performance has been excellent and is providing coverage throughout Spartanburg County and beyond.  Break out the radio manuals and set the tones so you can enjoy the new repeater!
