St. Peter Repeater Changes

The primary repeaters continue as they have in the past:

147.135+ (PL 100.0 Hz)
444.150+ (PL 100.0 Hz)

The backup repeater with emergency power:
147.135+ (PL 136.5 Hz)

After the introductions are over I intend to shut down the repeater during one of the nets and require everyone to use the secondary. It will force the necessary programming and familiarity so that emergency needs won't take us by surprise.
