Norm W4QN informed me this week that the UHF Repeater of KA4EPS in 
Margate is functioning, with links making it possible to communicate 
with SFDXA Members to the North(and more). I spoke to Norm this 
afternoon as he was mobile in Jupiter. Repeater is only running 1 Watt 
at the moment but when the PA is fully functioning, it will run about 
100 watts.

Note from Norm:

"I think we may have a networked UHF link established that you and other 
members of SFDXA can access.  The UHF repeater is in Margate and I think 
covers all of  Broward Co. With the matrix up and down the State -

This is an UHF system and if you have that capability try the Margate 
site, as I don't think the Deerfield Beach is operational yet.  
frequency is 444.025 +and PL code 107.2.  Our repeater in Jupiter is 
connected to this network - I am hearing stations from down your way and 
up to NJ.  If you have UHF, give it a try - KA4EPS is the guy who set 
this up using ATT cell towers"

Signal isn't real strong as of right, now but usable. After 20 years of 
trying to set up a Link, we can now talk to Norm W4QN, Mikum W4UM and 
others. Hooray!
