The 442.325 (+) (T 100 Hz) Middlesboro Repeater should be back on the air by late next week. The Jonesville Virginia machine, 442.575 (+) (T100 Hz), should also be up and running as well. The 443.950 machine will come down for several weeks to have it's tone board installed (T 100Hz) and have the two cooling fans mounted to the power amplifier heatsink. The 950 machine will go back up for more testing at a later date but don't forget to add the 100 Hertz tone when it does!
Also, please remember the Pinevile 146.835 (+ PLUS OFFSET) (Tone 100Hz) is up and on the air and is providing good local coverage for Bell County, Kentucky. If you need a repeater to get you from Middlesboro to Pinevile and as far North as Corbin... or perhaps fromPine3ville to Harlan... then the .835 is what you need.
Below is the 443.950 backup repeater and it's duplexer. The HT is shown for scale.
Another shot of the .950 - "the little repeater that could!"
