It is still small potatoes in the Internet world, but within the ham universe, the 6 meter repeater is getting some attention. This blog had been averaging around 50 hits per day, but yesterday (first full day on the air) it jumped to 862! Thank you to everyone who helped spread the word. It is also interesting to note the interest from international hams.
Today (Tuesday, 2nd day) the repeater has seen some use, and a bit of kerchunking (that’s OK, I do it myself). If you’ve been standing by, listening, I encourage you to join in.
See you on the air! 73 – KD2SL

I hear your new 6 meter repeater here in Oneida using a scanner and rubber duck. I wonder if a 5 watt ht and some kind of outside antenna would get me into the repeater?

Hi Dick,
If you’re not behind a hill, and with the right antenna, I think a 5 watt HT will do very well.
