- James Adkins, KBØNHX, asked for the 2m contest results. None were given. The participation level was less than expected. Given that there is still interest in the event It was discussed to possibly revise the contest and hold another one at a future date
- James Adkins KBØNHX, showed a short presentation of the work recently completed on the 442.275 and 224.280 repeaters. 200w amplifiers were added to each repeater along with two IOTA DLS-75 power supplies. The 442.275 repeater is working as expected. The 224.280 is experienced desense after the amplifier was added. The likely cause is mis-tuned duplexers. James will re-tune the duplexers at a future date.
The presentation concluded at 19:00.
