Michael: I was able to bring up the repeater but very noisy here at my QTH. The hill between me and areas east is difficult to overcome.

I was monitoring 715 during the net on Sunday night and it was
breaking the squelch, lighting one or two s-units at my location 60
to 70 miles away here in Topeka. Probably not reliably workable for
me, but definitely getting out there. Do you know what the output
power is? And whether that is the same as it was before?

I also enjoyed reading some of the history on the club's QRZ
profile:

Good morning Fellow Hams,

I hope to provide a quick update on the Seneca repeater.
For those of you who have morse code skills, you will notice
the repeater id has changed to KB0MU. For those searching for
the Echolink link to this repeater, it is now KB0MU-R.

The more important reason for this communication is to let
the MS county hams know the squelch has been loosened or
tweaked to provide a little more coverage while still keeping
the repeater from constantly burping from RF. The repeater has
no tone code. We are hoping some of you will again test your
ability to connect through the repeater. I can report that
with a 5W handheld with a non-factory, higher gain rubber
duckie that I was able to carry on a little bit noisy qso from
US36 and 27th Road in MS county or over 20 miles from the
repeater site yesterday late afternoon.

Let us know your results. If you like to email in case you
don't catch someone listening, then email to: [email protected]

Thanks and have a great week.

73's NOUDF
