A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM TIM,  WB4GBI: 

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 repeaters are off the air indefinitely. A new tower has been constructed, but antenna and feedlines have not been installed as of this writing. As you can imagine, this is a devastating loss financially and for the loss of service from the site. I had to take a large personal loan to complete the replacement project. A GoFundMe account has been established to help with the tremendous expense involved in restoring this site:

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

  Here is an update as of January 23, 2023:  The new tower has been erected as of late last year. A fence and landscaping work has been completed as well. The interior of the building is undergoing a renovation, and a  replacement underground electrical feed is in process. It is hoped that 146.625 and the public safety repeaters located at this site will be back in service very soon. The other repeaters may have to wait until Spring 2023 to be restored. I will keep posting updated information here and on social media. Please feel free to email if you have questions, using the link on the front page of the website. Thank you once again for your support, prayers, and well wishes!
