[PBARC] Fwd: Moving of the 442.175 DMR repeater

[Glenn Wolf]

All -

It seems that many when they respond to the "questionnaire" are not 
replying to the reflector but to me.  I will forward the emails I've 
received so that.  PLEASE make sure that the PBARC reflector 
(pbarc at mailman.qth.net) is on your to line or your cc line.

This one is form Mike, WOMS.


Hi, All.

Thanks to Glenn for letting us all comment on the relocations of the 
repeaters at Simmons. I do not use Facebook for a host of reasons, but 
appreciate the opportunity to comment on the relocations.

Obviously, Simmons is a good antenna location because it is high – 
probably 130+ feet which is likely the tallest non-tower location in the 
city. The environment is not ideal, but from my observation many of the 
serviceability and reliability issues can be remedied.

The proposed changes will likely result in changes to services presently 
available. The extent of the changes is apparently unknown, and my 
understanding is that no one has even tried to assess the impact. Would 
it not be more respectful of all Club members to know, in advance, what 
changes in service are likely from these changes?

I would hope that the Club would seek to expand their coverage and 
services over time. This posture will to make it possible to expand 
membership and at the same time, not purposefully, eliminate services to 
current members.

For these reasons, I am against the relocations.

Mike.

All -

I’m sending out this “questionnaire” to get your thoughts on moving the 
442.175 repeater.

As you may know, the Simmons Bank location has served us well but there 
are issues with the site.  Many of them are environmental and just the 
ease of being able to work on the equipment.

While no site has been identified we are considering looking for a site 
depending on the feedback we receive.  Our biggest issue is getting 
internet service.  Many companies won’t allow us to use their company 
internet (for obvious reasons) so that leaves us with using a mifi 
device. Mifi devices don’t work well, if at all, in a metal building.

I encourage you to share your thoughts but please be civil and 
respectful of those that might have differing opinions.

Finally, if you know of someone who is not on this reflector and wants 
to be, please let me know by direct email not by replying to this email.

Tnx es 73,

Glenn
