The YSF repeater was installed at the146.955, K1PBO site in the early morning hours today and is ready to go!

Yeasue's  "System Fusion" is a digital C4FM signal.  The repeater is configured as Digital/Analog system.  It is in "AUTO/AUTO" mode.  This means what ever RX modulation type it receives is what it will send out.  

Al Ryan has accepted the VE coordinator position. We thank him for volunteering. BARC also thanks Celeste W1CMD for the years she provided this service.

Congratulations to Philip Desroches - KC1EXF on his passing the General exam tonight!

At the  Dec 28 meeting of the board of directors meeting, it was stated that the noise on the repeater had returned sporadically. N1ZPO will monitor and if the noise starts continuously again, he will check the site, with the noise active.

N1ZPO asked that anyone that hears the noise, please text N1ZPO are inform him on what you are receiving. Thank you for your assistance. We hope to eliminate the problem permanently .
