REPEATER NEWS

Thanks to a few hard workers, we have replaced the old 1/2
inch hardline from the base of the tower to the cans with some
new RG213. It seems to have improved the sensitivity on receive
and the coverage on transmit. We also did a bit of cleaning a
round the shack site. Thanks to KE4VEP, N4RYC, WA4WQW, WA4YQT,
and KF4JTF. [de N4JAG]
