Alma VHF Repeater

Since last summer (2019), the Elmira Radio Club has a VHF repeater with callsign VA3DWI, in Alma, at 147.255 MHz, with a positive offset of 600 KHz, and a PL tone of 131.8. The repeater is at Ken VE3KCY’s place. It is not currently connected to IRLP, but as of October 2020, it is linked to the UHF ERC repeater using a cross-band radio at the home of VE3DWI. There are plans to eventually link this repeater with a co-located radio to either the existing ERC UHF or VHF repeater in Elmira. A big Thank-You to Tony VE3DWI for loaning this repeater and duplexer to the Club and setting up the cross-band link.
