Hello Everyone!

The .350 repeater is still at Motorola for repair, and we face several other issues. Unfortunately the individual that was put in charge of the repeater did not live up to its challenges, that's why we are in the spot we are in. It has been returned because "The HAM community in Joplin" was bothering him too much.

The individual in Springfield who was put to the task of putting the repeater back online, actually has set us back by returning a broken repeater and selling us Duplexers that will not properly tune of for the .350, naming them as duplexers that were purchased specifically for the .350 repeater.

This person (not named) has also failed to release the repeater coordination to us after several phone calls, and e-mail requests. Coordination can not be handed over until it is released properly.

Facing these two challenges we are now set back both financially, and this has impaired the possibility of actually getting a repeater 2 meter pair.

At this point we fall back to the last few posts on this website regarding the repeater, we need help! By any means. Volunteering in any way; writing letters, administration work and even financial support.

We are trying to incorporate into an entity that can legally pursue the actions that have been taken in the past and that will guarantee the repeater to be in operation without the threat of being taken offline by a single person. And to be able to legally protect ourselves should anyone try to take what is ours again!

I listen to RHC quite a bit in the evenings while winding down. I especially stick around if Arnie Coro is broadcasting DXers Unlimited at the University of Havana.

About a year ago I sent a QSL during an especially good skip from RHC, My TS-2000 was showing nearly full signal so I decided to fill out a QSL card and stick it in the mail to see what happened.

Below is the response!

Hello Everyone, and thanks for taking time to read this.

Everyone wants to hear the 35 back on the air, with good coverage, and this is the plan!

We need your help though! There are lots of things besides just the repeater unit itself that need to come into the picture, please help us by sending a gift of any amount to help deploy and maintain the repeater.
