New Repeaters On Air!
We encountered a severe noise problem at the site and need to resolve it before significant testing can begin. The noise is being created by roof mounted CFL lamps for the helipad! It seems to be an easy fix, but we have to work through the logistics with the site and a contractor. We hope to resolve very soon. Thanks in advance for your patience.
Projects for 2013 include:
-
- Voice repeater in Iowa County (Dodgeville)
- Voice repeater in Juneau County (Mauston)
- Completion of the high speed network in Appleton
- Upgrade to fiber broadband for our SIP server
- Completion of the WinLink RMS node in Lincoln County (Irma)
