====== MIRA Repeater Use ======

The good folks from the [[https://midislandradio.ca/repeaters/full-area-repeater-list/ |Mid Island Radio Association]] have "whole heartedly approved Sunshine Coast ARC use of MIRA repeater VE7RBB on Mt Benson at Nanaimo for [our] Thursday Net and for back-up emergency communications."

I'll give more details at our next meeting on the 30th, but for now, here are the frequencies:

These are linked together:
^Location             ^Callsign ^Input       ^Tone     ^Offset  ^
|Nanaimo Mt Benson    |VE7RBB   |147.180 MHz |100 Hz   |+0.6 MHz |
|Errington Fire Hall  |VE7RPQ   |145.370 MHz |100 Hz   |-0.6 MHz |
|QB Water Tower       |VE7RPQ   |145.370 MHz |141.3 Hz |-0.6 MHz |
|PV Trillium Lodge    |VE7MIR   |445.850 MHz |100 Hz   |-5.0 MHz |

This one is a stand alone repeater:
^Location             ^Callsign ^Input       ^Tone     ^Offset  ^
|Mount Arrowsmith     |VE7SYD**†**  |442.275 MHz |136.5 Hz |+5.0 MHz |

**† Note**: The VE7SYD repeater is not working properly at the moment and they won't be able to fix it until they can gain access to the site in the spring/summer.  Also, even under good working condition, this repeater is solar powered and should not be used except during their regularly scheduled nets or for an emergency.  The other four repeaters are grid powered.

Please feel free to go say hi on their [[nets:home#other_nets|Breakfast Bunch Net]] at 8:45am on weekdays (9:00am on Sundays).
