[MarinTeams] K6BW Update

[Bill Smith]

K6BW is now operating from two sites, from the Hamilton Wireless Clubhouse
in Novato, and from a new site in Mill Valley.  Range of the repeater is now
from San Francisco and the East Bay to Novato.

At the present time, there are two repeaters (Novato and Mill Valley)
operating on the same frequency.  At the moment the two sites are NOT linked
together, but the link should be established in the near future.  Signals
from the Mill Valley site can be recognized by a K6BW CW call sign and
courtesy tones.

Also, stations who are able to hear both repeaters will often hear a loud
buzz.  This is expected, and we will be working to resolve the noise.

Tests involving the 446.500 simplex frequency are concluded and 446.500 is
no longer linked to the K6BW repeater.   Access the Mill Valley repeater
using the standard 146.775 (-) 110.9 PL..  At present, this is the same
access as for the Novato site.   We may change the PL to allow separate
access to the two sites in the near future.

If you can access the Mill Valley site, would appreciate reports.  :^)
