New VHF / UHF repeaters in Lewistown area

[W3XQ]

Here are some changes made recently to Lewistown area repeaters in the past couple of weeks.

The old W7YM 147.15 repeater is no longer on the air at the South Moccasin Mtn site and the pair has been given up for reassignment.

New machines placed on the air are a VHF 146.96 (-) with a 100hz tone and a UHF 442.000 (+) with 100hz tone. The machines
are not linked and both have the callsign of K7VH.

Now located on Judith Peak NE of Lewistown at the mtn top site of an old USAF radar site both machines have excellent coverage, which is vastly improved from our old site.

We invite you to give them a try. As of this time there are only a very few of us operating in Lewistown so if at first you don't get someone please try again.

Many thanks to Quincy WA7SIP and Kirby K7EC for their hard work getting these machines up and running.
