You guys are knocking it out of the park. I found that the legacy 444.850 had great coverage at the new field day site at Riegel Ridge. So I would expect that the MTR2000 will also do in well in that direction and also have an amazing footprint. I have thrown my call sign out and and monitoring. Let’s work this puppy. Anyone else want to throw out a call?73,Chris KD2S> On Sep 23, 2020, at 3:19 PM, William Powell <whp at att.net> wrote:> > All,> > Len (K3SLJ) and I did some work at Cherryville this morning and I'm happy to report that our replacement 444.85 repeater> (Thanks Chris!) is now up and running at the new building in Cherryville and available for all to use.> > Coverage should be GREAT!
