ALMOST THERE...
In
the early morning hours of March 31, 2022, the 130 ft tower at the
Blount County site where the 53.15, 146.625, and 444.950 repeaters were
located fell to the ground and was destroyed during a horrific 90
MPH storm. All three of these repeaters are off the air indefinitely.
A new tower has been constructed, but as you can imagine this is a
huge financial undertaking. A GoFundMe account has been
established to help with the
tremendous expense involved in restoring this site: https://www.gofundme.com/f/wb4gbi-tower-replacement?qid=948d834c13d586145a2f2565a0c13266 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

All of the WB4GBI repeaters
are completely open & available to serve
the entire
Amateur Radio Community!
(Occasionally, there may be
a need to place a 118.8 tone on a repeater,
due to reception
problems or other outside interference,
but this
is only to eliminate reception problems - not to close a repeater!)
Thank
you for stopping by this web site.
Please
enjoy these pages... and the repeaters...
as they
have been built, tuned, installed and maintained to serve everyone.
Special Note:
Back in
early 1995 Tim had an opportunity to honor one of his mentors, George
Shaver, K4HXD in a local Ham Club Newsletter. George was the
one person most responsible for taking Tim "under his wing" and showing
him how much fun this hobby can be. Tim's article was in response
to George's passing, and he would like to share it with you here.
Ever Wonder why some repeaters
just tend to "Act Up" in the dead of winter?!
I
wonder why that is...
