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: nemahacountyaro@gmail.com

Thanks and have a great week.
