Marc ▪︎ Roger. Sounds like the snubnose 19-inch rack is going to be fastened down for greater installation hardening. That'll truly add an even mkre customized appearance with the added benefit of fastening everything down. I supposed you could consider some short heavy duty springs between the brackets and 19-inch rack to arrest resonance and vibration ... especially during trail events. Peter

Bummer. I can't make it due to another commitment.

Marc, Much appreciate the thorough answers to my questions plus the additional info and background as to how/why this all came about. This PW County site seems to be well situated and for a good cause. The heat map predicted reliable coverage is excellent and whenever I install a base station omni at our DC residence [to replace the current configuration comprised of unity gain "rubber duck" antenna sitting on a pizza pan], I expect to be able to hit the new repeater. Glad to hear that the subject GMRS station will be open during other than emergency operations periods. "See" you on the airwaves and [hopefully] at the next meetup whenever and whereever it'll be. [P.S. I must've shown the photo of your Jeep's rear-seat-mounted multiband repeater to a dozen telecom friends. Awesome and unique integration work]. Regards | Peter | WSIC582

[Thursday, 7 Aug 2025] Group, In recent days I have heard chatter on Blue Mountain '600 and Warrenton '725 re. a new repeater to soon be commissioned. Purportedly, such repeater will have a significant RF footprint. Can anyone add more info on this news, particularly: • What County it will reside in? • Projected commissioning date? • Availability: Public / Private? • Planned channel? • Planned PL or DCS code? • Predicted coverage (rough)? • Etcetera ... ? ___________ Thanks & regards, Peter | WSIC582 | NWDC

Marc and All, So sorry I will not be in town for this event on the 13th and sad that I will not be able to pig out at Carrabba's! Hope to meet and socialize with you all at the next NOVA GMRS event as I continue to get acclimated with GMRS. Regards | Peter | WSIC582
