Newb Posted November 23, 2022 Report Posted November 23, 2022 Is there any update on the move of Lincoln 725 in Illinois to Warrensburg? Quote
MichaelLAX Posted November 24, 2022 Report Posted November 24, 2022 The Lincoln-Warrensburg 725 Repeater here on myGMRS shows it in Warrensburg; having moved there on November 12th. That notice was apparently posted on that repeater site as included in the myGMRS Weekly Repeater Update email for November 6th: WRUS537 1 Quote
Newb Posted November 25, 2022 Author Report Posted November 25, 2022 That is correct, the repeater was moved to the new Warrensburg site on 11/12 but the tower climber had an elbow problem so the antenna did not get moved to the new site. Without a linked repeater in our area we don't have a way to get updates as to when our area will be back on the Midwest net. Any update from Buddy would be great. WRQD330 Quote
JB007Rules Posted November 30, 2022 Report Posted November 30, 2022 I just talked to Buddy this morning on the phone and as of right now, the DB420 antenna and new feedline are scheduled to be strung up the new tower on Saturday, 12/3/2022. it's about 12 miles south / southeast of the previous tower but the height will be about 100' taller as well around 400' or so. Final height is TBD. Knowing what I know about this project and with my experience putting up big repeaters myself and by being in close communication with Buddy, if I had to guess it'll take 4 - 8 hours to get this done. Weather permitting, I'd keep your ears tuned to .725 the evening of Saturday the 3rd. If something changes or it rains, that would get pushed back further. I'll try to update you guys if I remember but I don't check in here very often. Thanks, ROB MichaelLAX and gortex2 2 Quote
JB007Rules Posted December 2, 2022 Report Posted December 2, 2022 Quick update. Just got a text from the tower climber and they are backing out AGAIN so as of now it does not appear this repeater will be put back on the air tomorrow as it should have been. Thanks! WRUS537 1 Quote
Otis56789 Posted December 13, 2022 Report Posted December 13, 2022 i hope to have it up soon trying to get a new tower climber thank Quote
JB007Rules Posted December 19, 2022 Report Posted December 19, 2022 I located another climber that's going to do the work but we can't do anything as we are about to get a blizzard up here and even worse terrible cold weather. We'll update as we can. Thanks, ROB SteveShannon 1 Quote
JB007Rules Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 Weather was snow all day yesterday and today so our tower climber cancelled again FYI. We cannot win it seems! Will update more when we have more details at a later date! WRUS537 1 Quote
JB007Rules Posted January 27, 2023 Report Posted January 27, 2023 Allegedly the tower climber is going to get this done tomorrow I was told - 1/28. Don't hold your breath. Will update later! Thanks! Quote
