[SECC] 440 mhz repeater info from WW4T

[John Laney]

Fred, WW4LL, kindly informed me that I didn't get Bob, WW4T's message 
pasted into my message.  Here is Bob's information on his new 440 mhz 
repeater for use by "real" HF DXers and contesters.

73, John.

   Hello again John!
   Thank you for your response to my email re: Bill, W4AN, and my call.
   I appreciate you handling all those old contest QSLs. I had told 
Bill, he could use the call but I wasn't going to make any promises on 
QSLing, and believe me....whatever you do, or decide to do regarding 
QSLing is fine by me!
   I have been fairly inactive HF wise for a  pretty long time, so I am 
sorry to say, I have no QSLs or QSL format or choice which to use. You 
can make generic ones on the computer as far as I am concerned. I really 
don't mind. I will help you if you decide to go another route and "buy" 
them commercially...just let me know how much etc.
   You mentioned  the SECC which you belong to......I have a repeater 
here at my QTH, near Statham, Georgia, ( 10 miles West of  Athens ). We 
call it the "CON-DX" Repeater....for Contesters and DX'ers.  I would 
like to make it available to you and the SECC club members that are in 
range, or come into range. I also plan to make it available to the SEDXC 
for their use. It is a 440 MHz machine....442.300 ( out )  447.300 ( 
input ). It has good coverage for mobiles on Hwy 316 from Lawrenceville 
toward Athens, and out toward Conyers from Athens, and up I-85 
Braselton-Commerce-Carnesville, from Athens, so it may be useful for 
some members that are mobile, or that have decent towers/antennas on the 
440 band.
   We are "old timey/old school" hams that you will find on here. We do 
discourage "no-code" hams, and our repeater even announces it is a "know 
code" repeater, for the use of  contesters and DX'ers. You will find 
some familiar names/calls on here. Tom-N4XP, Ron-W4WA, Pat-W4NW, 
Stan-W4GF, Paul-K4UJ,  to name a few.
   We only ask those that use it.....PLEASE do NOT "kerchunk" it without 
ID'ing! As of the present, we do NOT have a tone on the machine....it is 
possible we will have to tone it in the future because of some 
intermittent intermod we have on occasion. If we do tone it, we will use 
100.0
   Tom, N4XP, is going to let folks at the SEDXC, but if you get there 
first, please feel free to extend the invitation. It should be fairly 
easy for those with towers/antennas on the East and North side of 
Atlanta to make it in in average conditions. We have been solid into it 
on occasion from both Hartsfield Airport down South of the city, to the 
HRO parking lot on the North ( from mobiles ), but those would have to 
be above average conditions.
   Thanks again for the QSL/W4AN info, and please feel free to handle as 
you wish, plus the call ( WW4T ), is always available to those that knew 
Bill and his contesting standards.
