Central
Valley SKYWARN's New Repeater:
145.230
To All,
After careful consideration the Central Valley Skywarn
Network has a new home, 145.230. This repeater is
located in East Knox County on a very tall broadcast tower.
This repeater has excellent coverage and very reliable. The
reason for the move is due to problems with the 146.850 and
the lack of activity during the nets. Last night during the
storms, we had the largest number of participants we have
had so far on the new net. Knox, Blount, Anderson, and
Grainger counties just for example. I would like to thank
those who participated. I look forward to working with all
of you again this year. 73s
