Small, small world! If I had thought for a few seconds longer I would have remembered your call, but not the repeater's call. I also remember having heard of that particular ID machine. As I recall the repeater was a few houses down from our remote on P.V.
I still have a 2 meter repeater (sort of ...TASMA would rather that I just fade away) I recently dug out my original application for a coordination dated June 78 talking about needing compatibility with your pair! I didn't recognize the callsign or frequency or the reference to 2 meter SSB activity at first. Oh well, we're probably boring the list to tears by now so I'll go back into a "lurking" mode. 73's Skip WB6YMH --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Ken Arck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 04:36 PM 9/20/2004 -0000, you wrote: > > > >Unfair, you've changed callsign (I think).
