The website data has been acquired thanks to Ray Kassis (N4LEM).

The Application for call sign has been signed and sent to the ARRL for submission to the FCC.  The request for the 2 Meter frequency has been sent to the Florida Repeater Council for their review. 

Thanks to Jan Ferguson (W4REN) for letting me apply for his old pair.

The 147.030 D-Star has been installed at 1150 W. King Street and is operational as a local repeater only.  The internet fiber connection has been completed and the gateway will be installed with the next 2 weeks and will be fully operational after initial testing.

My Special thanks to Ray Kassis, N4LEM for supplying the new home for KJ4OXT and Mike Hensley for his expertise in setting the can's for the system and the pre-amp.  Without their help this project would not be off and running.

This project is the sole responsibility of Glenn Edmondson, N3EH and in memory of his mother, Janice Edmondson

   The Gateway has been installed at this time and is waiting for the Trusted Server to except the Gateway.  I expect this to be done in about 2 to 3 days.
