[nrv-hams] Call for AT HOME volunteers for Audie Murphy Event Saturday!

[Patrick Lloyd]

I too enjoyed listening to, and participating.  The short window I had to
"get in" I used the ARA repeater on Mtn Lake which is 145.290.   Earlier in
the day due to work and location, I wasn't able to monitor the NRV
machines.

Dave, I'm perplexed that you can't work the Mtn Lake machine from Radford.
 That machine has a huge footprint.
(although admittedly I've never tried it from an HT from Radford.)
