Testing, testing...

Our repeaters have been off the air for about 2 months now, and while N9VW is working for some of us, it has been a challenge for others.  In our search for other options, it was suggested we try W7DX on Union Hill.  This site is close to our Rose Hill Site (only a few miles to the East), and may have similar coverage to what we had.

I reached out to the Western Washington DX Club who owns that repeater to see if they would allow us to test things out to see if the repeater would work for us. They have granted permission for us to use the repeaters for our nets.  So now it's time for the next step.

Here's what we are doing now.  Over the next few days, please test your access to W7DX and report back.  Send you reports on the Discuss group (discuss@lwhc.groups.io), or to n7yd@lakewashingtonhamclub.org if you are not an LWHC member.  If we get enough positive reports we will move the nets, but not until we are sure it won't make the situation worse.

Thanks for your patience as we work through these challenges.  Hopefully this will end up as a positive change for all.
