For anyone out in the west end of Clallam County... The a trio from the K7MMI group re-installed the 145.37 repeater at Ellis Mt Saturday. About a 20 hour day for us...

145.37- 114.8pl

Was this the same one that Pete (K7PP) had on 145.370 (114.8 ) for Forks?

Yep! Pete Kruml n7kfj began making arrangements to re-install immediately after Pete Policani k7pp turned over the VHF side of things to him. It took a bit longer than expected.

This repeater is not linked to the local Forks UHF machine however. It is stand alone with plans to link to the Puget Sound system later.

I don't speak for everyone in Clallam County but I know the guys in the west end appreciate having 145.37 back. Other than Octopus, it was there only way out of the area. A number of years ago our club's remote receiver on Ellis went away when Richmond Radio removed their site on the other Ellis. The club has been considering a repeater on Ellis to link to our Striped Peak repeater on 146.76 as the west end is a big black hole for the ARES folks at the moment.

Just tried to bring up this repeater from S. Whidbey, and it's a no-go.

Looking at the Google maps topography, it *looks* like I should have a fairly decent path to it.....

Is it lower level than I think it is? Or, perhaps it's down at the moment?
