New High Desert Amateur Radio Club Repeater - The HDARC has installed the 443.750 MHz repeater on Sandia Crest. (+5 MHz Offset, PL 100 Hz). Effective immediately, they will no longer use the 442.750 MHz repeater. Thanks to Mike Smith KI5NPB for the information.

New Bosque ARC Repeater - The Bosque ARC recently purchased the 442.750 MHz repeater on Sandia Crest. (+5.000) PL 162.2 - the club call is N5BRC. Effective immediately, they will no longer be using the Upper Rio System. Their 10 AM Saturday club nets (except for the first Saturday when they meet) will be on their new repeater. Also, EchoLink is now available on their repeater. You can access it from your cell phone, laptop/desktop or handheld/mobile unit. In the stations list, look for K6LIE-L. The node number is 488194, which you would touchtone if you are out of repeater range and wish to link into the system or join our Saturday net using another repeater with EchoLink capability. The disconnect code is “#”. If you are on your cell phone or computer, simply connect to K6LIE-L. Our thanks to Gerry Jurrens N2GJ for the info.
