I'd like to announce that the W0AYE-10 VaraFM gateway and W0AYE-4 digipeater is online and passing traffic. The gateway is currently at my QTH in Olivia for testing but will be moved to the Willmar area after I'm comfortable with it's performance.
The current frequency for both the gateway and digipeater is 145.690 no tone, no offset.
Antenna is a 4el yagi at 35' pointed NNE, but will get switched to an Omni directional vertical when the gateway gets moved. The gateway radio is a Yaesu ftm-6000 running 25 watts.
Anyone is welcome to connect and use both the gateway and digipeater.
