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.

Through Chuck's help we were able to get many things for this new project. Many thanks go out to him from members of the club and Georgia SKYWARN. Without Chuck, this project would not have been as successful.
