[LeArc] .06 repeater

[Rich Sample]

Good evening all.  

I have great news, good news and news.   The great news is that the 
antenna(s) on the tower at Horne lodge have a good swr.   So even though 
the repeater antenna is not straight up / down, it is operational.  
(remember to lean to the left when transmitting!!!)   the good news is 
that the repeater is back up and running.   If you own an Astron power 
supply remember that the transistors on the outside are "hot and can be 
shorted out blowing the fuse on the ac input!   The news is . . . .  
that the repeater still appears to be very noisy on the input.   When we 
first powered up the repeater (after replacing the fuse) the input was 
OK.  but as it was used, and heated up, it appears to get noisy.

AG9Y is going to get me the second Micor that was built for the .06 
repeater.  As soon as he can get that to me, I will change them out and 
make sure that it is a radio issue.   There is a slight chance that it 
is a controller issue.  If so we will deal with it.

Just a quick update for all who are waiting to talk on the .06 machine.  

finally thanks to all who came out to the tower site to help when they 
heard I was testing.  It was like the "old days"!   I really enjoyed the 
company.
