KD5DX
- 2M Repeater in Castroville!
Before
it was KD5DX, before it moved to
Dunlay, the McArc 2 meter repeater was on the ridge overlooking
Castroville. After several years without a repeater in
Castroville, the hardworking McArc repeater committee began the process
of installing a repeater back on the ridge. The Castroville
repeater is back on the air as 147.200 MHz.
Currently, KD5DX-Castroville is a stand
alone, 2M repeater and there is not a link to the 145.290 or the
443.350. Who knows what the future holds and what our
talented repeater committee may dream up.
Check it
out! Working Castroville just got easier for our San Antonio
neighbors.
Contact Walter
Hock/KK5LO or Curtis
Lechner/N5VLV for more details.
