[OFARC] Repeaters for OFARC Net

[Stephen Flowers]

Colleagues,

I just programmed the 146.840 (-) PL151.4 repeater in my radio. 
Afterwards, I kerchunked the repeater to test the connection and it 
immediately replied with its coded ID.  As Mark suggested, please 
program this repeater/offset/PL tone into your radio before tomorrow's 
meeting, just in case.  Also, after programming your rig, please test to 
see if you can hit the 146.840 repeater.

Tomorrow starting at 5 minutes before 8pm (19:55) please tune into 
145.17 and_/*if ARES is using */_our primary repeater, then we'll 
instruct everyone to switch over to the 146.840 (-) PL151.4 repeater.  
If we do the switchover to 146.840, then ECHOLINK check-ins will not be 
possible.  Hal will be our Net Control Host for tomorrow's OFARC 2m NET 
per the schedule.

Thank you for your support and be safe!

73,

Stephen (W2WF)
