The DMR Repeater is working well. The Fusion Repeater is on Dirk’s building.

The Boca Repeater site has had some personnel changes. Rick needs to establish who can gain access to our Repeater. Hopefully Ralph, N0LO can speak to his contact. The Repeater overheated when the Boca Club used it for their nets while their repeater was down.
