New TG matrix posted
A new talkgroup matrix document has been posted that is up to date with the two newer systems on the network (South Hill and C’ville Carters).
Virginia DMR pioneer Bob Spindle, W4YP SK
In 2008 – 2009, W4YP was one of the first amateurs in Virginia to begin experimentation with DMR and put up the first DMR repeater in the state. Located on Bull Run mountain in Haymarket, his repeater provided many in northern Virginia their first taste of digital radio. Bob proceeded to mentor myself and others as we tried out the mode, put up repeaters and spread the word to others. Bob continued to be active as a repeater owner/operator and advocate for various digital modes for many years until his death just a few days ago. His obituary is located at this link.
Please Welcome the KF4UCI Repeater
There is a new DMRVA-affiliated repeater in the Charlottesville area! Please add the KF4UCI repeater to your codeplugs. The frequency is 444.9875 +5, CC1. It carries the standard talkgroup lineup, with 27500 (Local) being standalone and not linked to any other repeaters.
The repeater is on Carter Mountain and should provide excellent coverage of Charlottesville and the surrounding area.
If you hear Elmer on the air please thank him for putting up this repeater.
