LHVHFS

The Laurel Highlands VHF Society, Inc. owns and operates the Acme repeater, located on the Chestnut Ridge in southwestern Pennsylvania.

The Acme Repeater operates on 146.67 (-600) at a power output of approximately 12 Watts.

The repeater is sited at an elevation of 2100 ft. This, coupled with its 65-ft. tower puts the signal out...WAY OUT! It is not uncommon to hear stations in eastern and central Ohio, as well as western New York state. And when the band is up....look out! We've had stations from central Ontario to Arkansas QSO through our machine!

The N3QZU Six-Meter repeater also is sited near the .67 QTH. This repeater operates on 51.780 with an input on 51.280. Photos to come on this one!
