[W2CRA] CRA: 375 Status

[Kurt Cathcart, KR2C]

It is my opinion that the control site has to be the weakest link in our repeater network.  We need to come up with a plan to eliminate the dependency on on this site and I believe that this should be a top priority.  We should revisit the plans we discussed several years ago now and set some actions.  Unless I'm convinced differently,  we should refocus our attention from remote site packages to this.-Kurt, KR2CSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

In the meantime there is 444.85, 147.015, 224.120 and 446.475.Bill - WB1GOT-- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software.https://www.avast.com/antivirus______________________________________________________________W2CRA mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/w2craHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:W2CRA at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
