A new repeater in town!
Passed on from Chris N7GYL
Located at the 275 foot level of Bunker hill, it covers Coos Bay, North Bend, East Bay, Coquille. Not sure what other areas it covers at this time. Improvements will come in time, some sooner than later.
This is a Yaesu C4FM/FM DR-2X machine. It is also tied into WIRES-X network, so you can access the repeater through WIRES-X anywhere in the world.
You can contact it on:
147.32 MHZ + offset with a 123.0 tone for analog FM.
Or same frequency with no tone for Digital.
The call sign of the repeater is K7REA.
We are still learning what this repeater will cover and what not.
Please let your people know of this new machine and all are welcome to use it.
Thanks,
Ken Rea K7REA
