The repeater has been on the air a while now. I've had some comments from Bob (W7LMA) about it but nobody else. Bob confirmed what Mark and I had experienced, the range of the repeater isn't all that good.
The antenna is still just lashed up to the ice bridge on the site. I've been waiting for the state guys to let me know if I can mount antennas elsewhere. Hopefully in the next two weeks we'll get them more properly mounted.
