The club repeater is located at a former Western Union microwave relay site. The Western Union Telegraph Company Red Lion relay station, York County, Pennsylvania was part of a larger network of sites that ran from New York to Philadelphia, Washington, and Pittsburgh. The Red Lion relay site is located in Windsor Township, York County, Pennsylvania, north of the town of Red Lion. The site is at an elevation of 995 feet above mean sea level on a parcel east of Pennsylvania State Route 24. The Telegraph Realty Company in September 1945 paid $725.00 to John and Melinda Ludwig for the lot and a perpetual right to cross the Ludwig property for access to the facility. Two years later the realty company transferred title to its parent, the Western Union Telegraph Company. Western Union sold it in 1967 to the Television and Electronics Service Corporation for $10,000.00. Since 1999, the site has changed owners a few times and is currently owned by Pennsylvania Sports Entertainment Network, LLC
