DMRVA portable repeater to be on the air at Dayton hamvention
If you are at the Dayton hamfest later in the week (May 17 – 19) and want to talk back to your friends who have to work (or couldn’t get a permission slip to go) try the DMRVA portable repeater on 440.800 MHz (+) on CC1. It’ll feature VA statewide on TS2 and Roanoke Local (27500) on TS1. The repeater will be located in the flea market front lot. It’ll be intermittently available as it’ll be on battery power. Thanks to KD4EG and WB4EOT for this effort.
