The TMRA 6 meter repeater is now officially "on the air" (as of December 22nd). The frequency is53.110 with a 1 MHz negative offset (repeater receives on 52.110). Note that we have noticed that many radios are not programmed with an automatic offset for 6 meters (or have the wrong offset for a different country). Therefore, you may need to configure the offset spacing in your radio which typically can be done via a visit to your radio manual. This setting is often one in your radio's menu setting.
Thanks to Rich (KQ6EF) for his major role in bringing the 6 meter repeater online! Also, thanks to Rich, Tom (KD8WCD) and Mike (W8MAL) for raising the repeater antenna!
