 Long-time ham and ARRL member David Lien, W6OVP, of Battle Ground, 
Washington, has transferred the Web address www.QST.org
http://www.qst.org to the ARRL. If you head to that URL, you'll now find 
yourself in the QST section of the ARRLWeb

Message-ID: <471D0064.3010807@unixwolf.net>

Folks,
After being down for awhile, I finally got everything put back together..

145.230 PL 88.5 is back on the air in Flower Mound, TX.

I have it on carrier squelch for a while then I can command it to PL 
squelch.

Initial range testing is still in the works.

FYI* It is an open repeater except for 3 denton area jammers.
