There is mild interest in setting up a GMRS repeater in Cookeville, I would get in touch with Cookeville Repeater Association and/or the TN Tech Amateur Radio Society who are both interested in setting up a GMRS repeater but have no clue as to the interest in the area, and don't really want to set something up to just sit there with no one talking on it. I'm a ham and interact with these groups alot, they're willing to be helpful if interest is shown.
