There
is an auto-patch on the .94 repeater. The up code is *1. The down
code is #1. To use the auto-patch, you must first ID yourself,
than state "AUTO-PATCH". By doing this, you anoumce
to any listeners you are about to place an auto-patch and they
should please stand by until you are done. Dial the up code, unkey
and listen for a dial tone. After hearing the dial tone, enter
the number you wish to reach. You can only dial "local"
numbers the the auto-patch. After you are done with you call,
enter the down code. Listen for the repeater to drop, and state
"CLEAR AUTO-PATCH". Please keep your call short. By
using the auto-patch, you are tieing up the entire system. There
may be others who want to use the repeater too.

.94 repeater is used by many clubs and organizations. Due to its
good coverage, .94 is a good choice for your next public service
event.

Whenever there is a chance for severe weather,
local Skywarn volunteers are called into action. They report
areas of bad weather directly to the national weather service.
There is usually a Skywarn volunteer stationed at the weather
service office in Sullivan, WI interfacing with the radio amatures
in the field. This makes for an effective severe weather network.
