  • Extensive on-going linking project, increasing coverage to the Panhandle of Nebraska and north of Laramie County.

!! LOOKING FOR A NEW SITE  !!

Back in mid-2007 we lost our site west of Cheyenne and are desperately seeking a new site.  If you have, or know of any site, that would be receptive to the placement of an amateur repeater please let me know!
