Southern Ontario Repeater Team

The VE3TTT Echolink Conference Room is back online from another site. But there is no RF connection to the repeater. This will allow for the YL net to continue online only. Hopefully the rest of the internet connection will be working within the week.

The Internet connection to City Centre will be down for the next week while we make changes. All of the analog and digital repeaters will still work for local QSOs. Nets that are held online such as the Procomm, TechNet and YL nets will not be aired. Local nets like the Saturday night net, Tuesday coffee net, or daily JO net will still take place. ... I hope to get the VE3TTT Echolink conference room running so that the YL net can continue online only. de Tim VA3TJS
