  Shamelessly stolen from another list... according to the website listed below, it's -1.00 inpot, with the
PL tone of 103.5...  something to keep an ear out for when the band opens up!

This may well be the world's most expensive repeater, but it was virtually free!  53.67-, PL 103.5 is now ON THE AIR in Syracuse NY, using the former WSTM-TV 3 analog broadcast antenna (8 bay batwing at 850 ft.) and rigid copper feedline (1000 ft. of 3-1/8" copper, .7dB loss)!  The duplexer was built using a converted diplexer and sideband filter from the same TV station.

If you're ever anywhere near Upstate New York, southern Ontario or Northern Pennsylvania, give it a try.  When 6m opens, the sky is the limit!

I appreciate all the help I've gotten by reading this mailing list!
