[GCARC] Glassboro D-STAR operational change

[John Zaruba Jr. K2ZA]

On the afternoon of March 24th 2017 the Glassboro D-STAR repeater (KC2TXX) will be going offline for a configuration change.

The site will becoming back up as a Yaesu System Fusion repeater operating in Digital Only mode to evaluate system RF and networking performance for a period of not less than 30 days (unless there are severe operational issues) and will be linked to a system in the Atlantic City area.

There is considerable D-STAR coverage overlap in Gloucester County, KC2TXB in Bridgeton for the eastern part, K2EOC for the north and northwest portions, and NJ2SC for the south and south west portions of the county. These other resources should be able to handle typical system loads.

After the the testing period the results and future direction will be discussed within the MCC AUXCOMM group and among interested stakeholders.

Very 73,

John K2ZA
KC2TXX Trustee and System Administrator
