Repeaters

The Fulton County Amateur Radio Club operates a 2-meter repeater from the Fulton County Health Center on a frequency of 147.195 with PL tone of 103.5.  We maintain a backup repeater on the same frequency just north of the Fulton County Fairgrounds for emergency purposes and continuous coverage.

Thanks to K8LI for allowing open access to his repeater equipment, located just north of Delta.  This repeater operates on both 2 meter at 147.285 and 70 cm at 444.450 both using a PL tone of 103.5.  The K8LI repeater is also connected via IRLP (node 4479) and EchoLink (node 43515).  More information can be found at the K8LI website.

Thanks also to KB8GOM for getting his repeater online.  The location is the backup repeater site, northwest of Wauseon and it operates on a frequency of 442.075+ with a PL tone of 103.5.  

AR Newsline: AR Newsline can be heard on the 147.195 K8BQX Club repeater on Sundays at 7:00 pm. and again on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm., which is one hour prior to the nets on those days.

Various Nets:

All nets are informal nets unless otherwise indicated.
Controlled nets means all communication is directed to and thru the net control.
Informal nets do have a net controller, but it is ok to break protocol, these are to be fun social nets
vs serious controlled nets.

Buds' Midnight Madness Net:

Who is Bud and why a midnight madness net at 10:30 pm?  Very good questions indeed, this section intends to outline a little bit of the history of this Net.  The Midnight Madness Net was introduced into the Fulton County repeater in the mid-1990s by Bud Rohda, KA8ATI, and Dave Nelson, KA8KDS.  The idea was to have a fun net with a very loose format, providing local-area HAMs a forum for discussion of any number of topics.  The more often HAMs checked in, the higher their call sign was in the check-in roster.  The net originally started at 11:00 pm and would go well past midnight before closing down with Bud acting as net control almost all of the time.  After Bud Rohda passed away in 2005, the net was continued on his name with various net control operators, first by Dave Nelson, and currently by Steve  Breece, KC8ROU.  As times change and schedules change, it was determined that the net was better served to start at 10:30 pm.  The net now runs as a controlled net, with a regular round, followed by a 73 round.  You will always find us on 147.195 at 10:30 pm, Monday through Friday, so be sure to stop in and say hi.
