The WB6OBB repeater on 147.000 recently underwent an upgrade and got all new hardware. The antenna still needs replacing as it is approaching 50 years old and is deteriorating badly. A new commercial grade 2m repeater antenna costs around $1400. Update – About $400 Over $1000 has been raised so far, and donations are needed to help raise the rest.
This is an incredibly valuable resource for those of us in the South Coast area. It has tremendous coverage and has always been reliable. Dennis – WB6OBB, provides and maintains this repeater free of charge for the betterment of local ham radio. Pitching in with the antenna cost is a noble cause for us to get behind.
If you can help in any way, please contact Dennis – WB6OBB at dennis@west.net or (805) 966-7060
