Members of the Gold Coast Amateur Radio Association will be working at the W4BUG repeater site at John Knox Village tomorrow, Saturday 29-FEB-2020.
An upgrade of the transmit antenna will be completed.
Around noon, the repeater will be taken off the air until the work is completed. Keep an eye out on Facebook for live photos and video of the work.
If you have a vertical antenna and are a decent distance from the site in Pompano Beach, please listen in the afternoon / evening and provide a signal report so we can get a feeling for how the new antenna is functioning.
