New Repeater Site - # - Robert's Photos

The following photos shows the installation of our new repeater system in Fayetteville, GA. (145.210- 131.8hz and 444.600+ 77hz) These repeaters are a part of the Fayette County Repeater Association, Fayette County ARES ( http://www.kk4gq.org) and the Georgia Skywarn Linked Repeater System. ( http://www.georgiaskywarn.com). The 444.600 repeater is the main remote base for WX4PTC at the NWS in Peachtree City, GA. ( http://www.georgiaskywarn.com/wx4ptc) These repeaters now have great coverage throughout the south metro Atlanta area as well as into downtown ATL. We update the gallery with pictures as things change over the years.

Jim, Robert and Dr. Ron Johnson WB4GWA. Dr. Ron is an incredible resource for the 145.210 and 444.600 group. He elmered both David AG4ZR and myself (Robert) on the repeaters and how to make them really work well. We are forever in your debt Ron.

Different clamps we have cobbled together over the years. Changed out all the rusty bolts with new ones.
