448.150 is
ON THE AIR

March 2008

I've taken this repeater off the air as it developed an issue in the receiver and transmitter.

February 2009

The repeater is currently at CSI-Radio (the local Motorola service center) for a complete tune-up.  Also at this time the new set of duplexer's will be tuned.  Once the repeater and duplexers are functioning, the repeater will be returned to service.

November 2009

The repeater has been repaired and is back online at a temporary location and will be placed back at it's normal mountain top location by December.
