-Emergency communications – During an emergency, monitor the .060 repeater. Backup repeater is .675 repeater. If operators need to QSY to another frequency, we will do it. Members with dual band monitoring functions have the benefit of listening to both frequencies at the same time. Both repeater sites do have emergency backup power. If something wipes either or both, that is where the simplex frequencies come into use.
- Route 66 historic 100th Anniversary is 2026. Keep you ears out for any special activities.
- There is an old gas station that houses a museum in Afton, OK. The owner is a retired Marine. If you are in the area, go check it out.
