[ETS/PARC List] Asbury Park Repeater / Hamfest

[drew Moore]

Please pass this on to your club members:

 

We are pleased to tell you that the Garden State Amateur Radio Association
has acquired the repeater commonly known as the Asbury Park Repeater,
147.045 (though it is not in Asbury Park!). Once all the paperwork is done,
it will be renamed the Garden State Repeater and its callsign will be W2GSA.

 

This repeater is used extensively in Monmouth County by our club, and also
Monmouth ARES on Monday evenings and QCWA on Tuesday evenings. It is also
used by Skywarn for severe weather announcements, so I suggest programming
it into your radios if you live or travel in the Ocean/Monmouth area.

 

W2GSA will be an open repeater +600 PL67.0. Feel free to make use of it or
just to introduce yourself. It is normally monitored by several club members
during the day and evening.

 

Our club holds meetings on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at
7:30pm at the Red Cross building in Tinton Falls. We also have a DX interest
group that meets on the last Monday of the month. For more information,
please contact me. All are welcome.

 

And don't forget our Hamfest this Saturday. Details are at our website,
www.gardenstateara.org. Our ARRL vice director will be speaking at 9:30 am
followed by VE testing. Talk in will be via the above repeater.

 

Also note that in October we plan to begin monthly VE testing. More details
to follow.
