[MCARC] Brk

Green Leaf repeater was handed over to Dennis who gave it to Al for him to see about putting it somewhere as I guess it is not programmed to work in Marshall Co and will only work in Washington Co.

I would be OK with having a repeater 0.7 miles from my house and 200 + feet higher. I would probably be able to hit it with a low power HT.  If NØNB can work my 2m station on simplex he would surely be able to key up a repeater at this location.  I don’t know if those in Marysville would be line of sight or not.

Seems like it would provide fair coverage for those that hold licenses, even if it wouldn’t cover the whole county.
