The Sad Day Of Taking Down 146.985 Antennas |
The Guys that hang out now, as a hole , are currently on the Butner 146.940 repeater came over
from the 146.985 frequency when our good buddy Jim Hicks became a (SK). in 2009.
During Jim's last few days his wife Sue shut down the .985 , she was trained well buy
Jim to do the job when he was on the road. We all used the 146.940 repeater to keep up
on Jim's status during his last few days. Thanks Dave, WA4IZG for being there and
accommodating us to use the .94 .
We ALL Miss Jim in his his wisdom as well as all the neat stuff he had going on the .985.
The frequency has been re-coordinated to KB4WGA, So the 985 is still on the air only
now from a different location. It's now at John's KB4WGA QTH in Durham.
John is busy rebuilding the repeater.
As of January 2011, KB4WGA/R is in very local test mode. It's still a work in progress ,
but try to hit it anyway.
Check out the KN4AQ repeater list on RARS page. for updates as well.
Thanks Jim for all the wonderful fun and friendship and for all the year we had on the air,
73'S Good Buddy !
