147.255 back on air / DMR repeater re-located
Everyone.
Some excellent news to relay: 1. The issue with the 147.255 repeater?has been resolved and it's back?on the air.? Allen K3HOC?believes?that the power switch for the repeater was accidentally?bumped when workers were at the site earlier.? That issue has been rectified. 2. The 444.625 DMR repeater has been relocated from the EMA building to the Rockton tower site.? I was able to carry on a two-way conversation with Tim K5TEL using an HT in the Bigler PA area and could hear Paul W3PRL here at West Decatur.? So that repeater?appears to be functioning?as planned.? Coverage should extend east to about Brookville before becoming a hilltop repeater, South toward Punxy and East to Philipsburg.? Allen does not have the equipment mounted in cabinets but will take care of that task on his next trip to the tower site.??
If you have DMR capabilities, please give the 444.625 W3CPA repeater a try!
Thank you and 73.

Just a quick heads up for everybody. 147.255. Repeater is currently off the air. The GRS repeater however, continues to function properly. So it¡¯s not a power issue as both repeaters are controlled by the same controller. I spoke to Allen and he¡¯s going to try and get up there later today to look at it to see what¡¯s going on. Just wanted everybody to know what was going on. 814-553-5649 -- ___________ CCARC Group Email Addresses * Post: [email protected]* Subscribe: W3CPA+subscribe@ groups.io ( [email protected] ) * Unsubscribe: W3CPA+ [email protected] ( [email protected] ) * Group Owner: [email protected]

Everyone, Thank goodness the holidays are over! Now we can get back to business as usual. And part of that will be resuming the CCRC weekly net this coming Tuesday. 7 PM on the 147.255 repeater. I believe Tim K5TEL will be taking care of net control duties for the first net of 2025. Hope to hear everybody there.
