Midway Repeater
WRWG201 replied to Agent's topic in Mississippi GMRS Communications's Club Repeaters
Did the 50 watt repeater ever come in? Curious how the coverage may have improved. -
I've taken the club to a state level vs. county in order to attract more like-minded individuals. -
A 50 watt repeater has been ordered for this area to upgrade the current repeater. Waiting on shipping.

A 10 foot extension is planned for the antenna next week. I expect that this will dramatically increase coverage. -

Installation for the Midway repeater is completed. The repeater puts out around 5 watts after the duplexer. The antenna is a massive 17.5' GMRS tuned antenna that's currently on a 30' flag pole. Plans are to upgrade to a higher wattage repeater and place the antenna on the tower. Please post any issues or concerns you have here.

Repeater install is completed. Currently we have a 10 watt repeater that puts out about 5 watts after the duplexer. In the not-so-distant future when enough funds are collected, a 50-watt repeater will be going on the 75' tower on Hwy 35 across from the coliseum.
