Old Business:

UHF Repeater - N2AM reported that the repeater is set up and operating from a tower near Fairport. The antenna is up at 180 feet. The callsign is N2AM. The repeater is on 444.950 MHz with a plus input and uses a 100Hz tone for input and on the output. You should be able to work it via handheld from Muscatine.
