This app when activated searches your area for all repeaters via GPS.Some of the repeater websites are good but not updated.This app is available at the Google playstore. Bar harbor is by Acadia National Pk.I've been there. Years ago you can take a ferry from Bar harbor to Yarmouth N.S.Not sure if the service is still available. You drive your car right on the vessel. 73 Pete KD2ARB From k2dsv at msn.com Sat Aug 29 08:55:01 2015 From: k2dsv at msn.com (Don WILSON) Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2015 08:55:01 -0400 Subject: [ETS/PARC List] Today's Propagation Forecast Message-ID: Today's Propagation Forecast >______________________________________________________________________ > >Solar activity will be moderate with a slight chance for an X-class >flare today and Saturday and expected to be low with a chance for M- >class flares on Sunday. > >The geomagnetic field will be at unsettled to minor storm levels >today, quiet to active levels on Saturday and quiet to unsettled >levels on Sunday.
