W7NEO-RPT4 Digital Cabbage Hill Repeater 444.975

The “Cabbage Hill 975” repeater is our adopted site. It was previously part of another club and that club disbanded. It later went completely off the air due to equipment failure. We replaced the old analog repeater which had been off the air for a number of years with a new Fusion repeater and placed it back on the air as part of our C4FM digital voice system.

W7NEO Analog Weston Mountain Repeater 441.700

The analog repeater on Weston Mountain is somewhat of an experimental repeater. The hope is for it to one day be connected to our remaining analog repeaters via AllStar node. This will help to provide a valuable resource to our local Ham community to those that either haven’t the ability or the desire to explore digital voice communications.

If you aren’t familiar with AllStar, you can find more here.
