After quite a period of reasonable usage of the LARC VHF repeater, the intermod problem has returned with a vengeance in the past few days.
As a result we were unable to participate in a county wide BCARES propogation test this past Monday and also were unable to hold our weekly net tonite.
We did conduct the net tonite on the UHF repeater. Steps are in progress to get the VHF machine back on the air as soon as possible. Until then, use it if it's working and if not, switch to the UHF machine on 448.800 with a + offset and an 88.5 Hz tone.

We are pleased to announce the release of the LARC Mentoring Program. The program will assist members less familiar with radio operation to get on the air and build confidence in their radio abilities. Mentors can also assist members on technical issues such as radio and equipment setup, and antenna configuration.
LARC members interested in advancing their knowledge by learning new digital modes or moving from local VHF to HF and DX activities should take advantage of this learning opportunity. Mentors will be matched based upon interests and knowledge level.
