that the 20 Amp was shipped and that Gene K2KJI should have it in his
possession. Vic K2NBC was going to check with Gene,

everything seems to be running well.  He did not anticipate linking
with the RVRC 2 Meter repeater  for any weather emergencies as the
worst of the winter weather seems to have passed.
Rich advised that
the repeater should be keyed up before entering any command codes if
there has been no activity. This will clear the announcements out of
the way before linking for nets.
