REPEATER NEWS

We now have a 110 watt power module for the
UHF repeater. We'll be working on getting the UHF
system up and running as soon as we can.

We also need to get the tower installed at ESJC so
we can get back on the air with the BBS. Due to a
lightning strike at the EMA in Ozark, we no longer
have K4OZK as our RF link.

Due to the same lightning strike, the Ozark repeaters,
both VHF and UHF are both down. Everyone should
feel free to use the Enterprise repeater as often as they'd
like, and hopefully Jim and Bob can get the Ozark
machines back on the air soon.

We'll probably have more info on all these topics at
the July meeting. de N4JAG

PS: Bob, WA4GIU, now has the 147.21+ repeater up
and running at his home QTH. It should provide
excellent coverage in our area.



FIELD DAY

Field Day 2001 is over and was a success for EARS.
We set up at Johnny Henderson Family Park in
Enterprise as planned and the weather cooperated. Rick
will have the report at the meeting and we will see how
we did later in QST. However, our equipment worked
well, we had many participants and lots of good food.
Many thanks to all who participated in any way.

-------------------------------------------------

Electronic Edition:

As a footnote to the Field Day report, I'd like to extend
special thanks to Jim Harrelson of Enterprise Texaco for
loaning us a back-up generator and donating all the gas;
to Mark Dollar of the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of
Luverne for donating all the soft drinks, and to Dr. Wallace
Miller of WKMX for loaning us the remote vehicle, another
generator and tower in case we needed it.

Naturally, thanks go out to all those that helped us by being
there, working, loaning us equipment, preparing food, and
all the other assistance we received. Whether we win anything
or not, it was fun. That makes it a success.

Nothing else to report right now; but, I'm sure I'll think of
something else by meeting night. C U there.
