Preble County Repeater Back On The Air

The Preble county VHF repeater (145.470Mhz (-) 100pl) is back on air with a new Fusion repeater.  We are capable of analog and digital.

The backup repeater is on UHF (442.900Mhz (+) 100hz pl) and is a Fusion repeater also.

All ARES and Skywarn operations are to switch back to VHF.

We would appreciate some signal checks around the district.
