The W2RUI Repeater Has Moved!

A lot has changed this year with The Lockport Amateur Radio Association. Our repeater has moved to a new location on Upper Mountain Road near Mt View Dr. Our antenna is now at the top of a 250 ft tower, which gives us twice the coverage of our old site. That site's antenna was at 80 ft. We can now be heard as far south as Cuba, NY and as far north as Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Our repeater is a Yaesu DR-2X which accepts both analog and Fusion on the input. We have a CTCSS tone of 107.2 Hz. All are welcome to key up and say hello. Someone is always listening! Last but not least, we have added Allstar to our repeater with a remote node. Our node# is 60050. If you are interested, try it out and have some fun!

Enjoy!

Mike KB2TRU President
