The 147.505 repeater is being repaired due to no power output from the transmitter. This is expected to take less than 1 week. TIPS Net, WX nets, etc. will be held on the back up repeater. 444.500 DCS 073 If you have an old radio that can't run DCS, you may use a 77.0 encode only CTCSS. The 444.500 will be linked in to the New England Reflector, channel 3 for the TIPS Net. If the 505 is not back online by next Sunday, the 444.500 will be linked into the ARES (SEC) Net. The Wednesday night SPARC net will be on 444.500 and linked to 147.505 (simplex) via the remote base to announce to potential check ins to come over to UHF. 73, Brian Freeman - K1SOX Email: k1sox@xxxxxxxx Web: http://sparc.us <http://sparc.us/> Repeaters: 147.505 77.0 PL (146.505 input) EchoIRLP Node 7505 224.500 77.0 PL 444.500 073 DPL / 77.0 PL IRLP 4663 ================================================= TIPSdiscussion welcomes messages from members please POST at: tipsdiscussion@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Our Info Page and Web Portal (the easy way to get to your acct) www.freelists.org/list/tipsdiscussion Subscribe to the list send a blank email with SUBSCRIBE in the subject field: tipsdiscussion-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Unsubscribe by sending a blank email with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject to: tipsdiscussion-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Tell your friends about TIPSnet!!! =================================================
