Additionally the Station has two VHF Packet Digipeaters running, one for each of the local Packet Nodes. 145.01 and 147.96. We also host the ARES VHF RMS at 144.90 and are up on APRS at 144.39. The FT-450 Station is also a Digital Mode setup and uses a soundcard interface (Rascal). We have a 13B2 VHF Yagi for 2m operations, the dedicated radio for that station is a TS-700A Multimode rig with a 35 watt amplifier. Station also has 33cm FM and 1.25 FM radios.
6 meters is supported by the TS-570S and a two element Hy-Gain Yagi. We try to operate as many of the contests as practical, we are a small club after all.
