Richmond area DMR coverage is back!

Well, it has been quiet over here for a while, so here is some real good news. 

Over the weekend the Richmond area DMR repeater was moved back to Midlothian alongside the other W4RAT repeaters.  The repeater is in the same configuration as it was in 2022 and the antenna is at around 580 feet.  Coverage should look roughly like the previous coverage maps.

We’d like to say thanks to a few RATS club members (and leaders) for their support including KN4SYE, KG4PEQ, and W4MAF.  We’ve joked before that one of the key elements to strong repeater performance and excellent coverage is relationships with key people.  In reality, this couldn’t be more true.  Also, because the old logo from the club doesn’t get much use anymore, we chose it for this post (and it’s pretty damn cool too).

As a reminder, the Richmond Metro TG is linked full time to many other sites in the region, including Petersburg, Powhatan, New Kent, and Beaverdam.  We believe this brings some of the best coverage to RVA.  Please enjoy.
