From Randy:
Thought you’d like to know the W5DDL repeater in Abbeville was put in service this morning with the same frequencies and offset previously used by that location.
It does not yet have the battery backup that is planned for it. I am waiting for the battery to arrive as the other needed items came in today. The building does have an emergency generator but I have no info as to whether that circuit is on emergency bus.
I will be contacting Matt Anderson to advise the new call sign and capabilities (FM & C4FM). I expect that Matt will then update RepeaterBook as changes there are confirmed by Matt.
In the process of connecting the repeater Danny M and I found a damaged spot in the hard line in the building. Plans have not been made in the repair. If anything is needed I will advise.
In the meantime enjoy our newest repeater and spread the word.
