NEWS OF THE INDIANA RDF & CONTEST SOCIETY

The 224.16 repeater is now under the ownership of Mark Stoddard. Greg still maintains the hardware. It is highly likely that the repeater autopatch will be terminated later this year for a lack of funding and lack of use. It will be replaced with a wireless data link.
Under Construction, care to add any?

KB9AVO is Paul Van Dyke. Paul owns and maintains the 2 repeaters just north-east of Warsaw on one of the higher spots in our county. 444.425 and 146.985 are wired together, so whatever appears on one, appears on the other. For more info contact Paul at crossbow@kconline.com
At last word, 444.425 was off the air and 146.985 was in service.
