Outstanding news.  I've added it as a resource.  That should allow us coverage of the Worcester shelter sites.  

I will reach out to the trustees to request permission to use it for our SET.

Is 145.45 a repeater with a backup generator?  If not, we can not use it under this scenario.  Please let me know.

Leom OEM uses the major schools as shelters. The schools down in the city would be 145.45 only.
I can use Fall Brook school with my truck with VHF and HF.  I got my hamstick to work on 3944 if we are on there.
