two FM repeaters to support contacts by the Boy Scouts celebrating 
their 100th anniversary this week. 

The second repeater is available for Scouting stations, and when 
not in use by the Boy Scouts, low power stations are welcome. We 
define low power as 10 watts or less, AND omni or handheld antennas 
only:

The main repeater is still open for general traffic. The 67 Hz PL 
access testing continues on this repeater:

Uplink:   145.920 MHz FM for general contacts
