Joaquin Ridge Repeater

[nokones]

Some time ago, there was some discussion regarding the Joaquin Ridge repeater if it was still on the air because the owner has passed. Also, I remember in that discussion someone was going to look into keeping that repeater active.

Well, as of the last couple of days, if that repeater is active, the tones and/or the freq have changed. As listed, it is not active.

As for an alternate, the two Park Ridge repeaters provide excellent coverage on I.S. 5 practically all the way up to Westley.

For a while, before it was deactivated "?" it was linked to the Auberry repeater on the east side of the valley. As far as I know, it hasn't been on the air for many months. I check for it every time I come down into the valley. I was over in Coalinga a while back and scanned all of the repeater frequencies and didn't hear anything. The repeater was located on Joaquin Ridge to the east of Coalinga. I have not heard anything regarding the demise of the repeater.
