Greenleaf repeater is presently in storage at Fred Neitfelt's bldg.  It was missing a powersupply that Bill Hammel provided, and the controller we purchased with club funds.  On several occasions I attempted to gain access to the cabinet on the elevator, but was not able for various reasons.  What we do have is a different cabinet (I furnished) and the transmitter/receiver and cavities for 147.060/+.  I think I furnished another powersupply in the cabinet and hesitated to order a new controller, due to circumstances.  So the status is Fred and I are donors to the equipment, originally.  It can be utilized on that one repeater frequency only, but physically it could be located where ever.  I made an attempt to contact the Emergency Manager in Washington to determine if they wanted a repeater in their county, I left a written note to them some time ago and never heard any more.  The tower north of town that I had BV agreeing we could locate there at 200 ft. fell down and that fell thru.  I did advise the coordinating group for repeaters, to hold that channel on hold for that county.
As I recall there is another 66/06 on the air South-east of here.

 P.S. on Nate's location, I can work Nate at home on 2m from about any location, in Marshall county, and mobile at the hwy, Ne./Ks north of 
Hanover.

  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.
