<div class="level1">
<p>
The CVARS just installed their 6m repeater on Mount Brenton: 52.870 <abbr title="Megahertz">MHz</abbr> (<abbr title="Frequency Modulation">FM</abbr>) -1.7 <abbr title="Megahertz">MHz</abbr> (51.170 <abbr title="Megahertz">MHz</abbr>), T141.3 <abbr title="Hertz">Hz</abbr>. The antenna is a vertically polarized folded dipole, but I had a QSO on the repeater with my horizontal 204' G5RV and I could hear the it S9.
