[SMCARA] 64 Repeater Status

[JD Delancy]

Just called you several times, Tom, but guess you had to get back to 
toiling with other things

Repeater sounds good up here near Golden Beach.  At first blush, 
courtesy tone audio sounds about right and I've not heard anyone talking 
on it yet.  I'll listen a little more critically
