Welcome to the Palmer Divide Repeater Club! Have a look about and let us know what you think.

• 07-06-05 - After a rather lengthy string of good luck with our hardware, the autopatch is being taken down for a bit of maintenance. As soon as it is returned from the manufacturer, the feature will once again be available.
• 06-30-03 - The IRLP Node is back up and running just fine now. Canadian Customs can be pretty slow in letting loose of things that don't even work so things went slow, but it's the board is doing nicely now.
• 05-11-03 - IRLP is now down due to a bad FET in the interface board. It's goin' back to the Canucks tomorrow and should be back shortly. The support folks at IRLP are some of the fastest and most considerate folks I've run into. I had my reply and offer to repair in 10 minutes after submission. Much better than the folks at commercial suppliers.
• 04-28-03 - The IRLP link is solid so we've added a FAQ for the users. Just click here and you can read up on the proper operation of this nifty feature. 
• 04-12-03 - An update is due as the repeater continues to remain quite reliable with the autopatch and IRLP link in place. An antenna relocation is probably in order as the coverage to the north is substandard. The weather is warming up and this will be one of the first projects on the list.
• 01-13-03 - Mirabile Dictu!!! IRLP is up and running on the repeater now. We've done a good deal of rasslin' with this, but the actual installation had more to do with the aquisition of parts, than the installation itself. Specifics on accessing the system will be available shortly.
• 12-15-2002 - The repeater is back up and functioning very nicely with not only it's CW ID functioning properly, but also its newly installed phone patch. Our next project will be the installation of the IRLP node. Check back when it's up and things should get more interesting.
• 12-01-2002 - Word has it that the controller board will be back in our hands on 12-06-02. Work proceeds apace on the patch as well.
• 11-14-2002 - The repeater is down temporarily owing to a glitch in the controller board. We should have it up within the week.
