[MCARC] Donation of equipment

[Ken Kopp - AKØA]

“Ozawkie” hasn’t had a repeater on the air in many years and no longer holds coordination.

The coordinator would probably have a problem with it in Manhattan. I don’t know how easy it would be to change freq. either, with that rig. Even Wichita would have some possibility. It would be depending on antenna’s. Dennis

Vern has been trying to resurrect the club roster and is doing a good job with several new hams and others ready to take tests. The reason for this note is that I propose that the MCARC donate the 147.06 repeater to KSUARC. This was the "Greenleaf" repeater which we all know has been off the air for many years and is just collecting dust in KFØHS's garage. At one time there was interest in trying to find a home for this in Washington Co. but that did not happen. I did ask Vern if he would be interested in the repeater as a donation and he said yes.
