Subject: [ETS/PARC List] WB2HKK repeater
Message-ID: <000a01d5af97$3254d300$96fe7900$@optimum.net>

While researching the current ON-AIR repeaters in the area, I discovered
that there was another repeater on 444.05Mhz.

N2ION is in NYC, pl 114.8. It has a great signal.

 

I did some research, and discovered that 444.40 was not in use. REPEATERBOOK
shows it as a South Amboy repeater, with a call of K2ODP.

K2ODP was a club call for the Woodbridge Radio Club. This call expired last
year. The club has dissolved.

 

I spoke with Bill Londell, K2CZD, the club contact. He confirmed the above.

 

Back in the 70's, I built the Woodbridge Radio club repeaters, that were
located at Bob Pederson's house in Fords. 

 

The WB2HKK repeater is now on 444.40Mhz ( pl 141.3 ). I will change the
listing on REPEATERBOOK.COM, and begin coordination paperwork.
