SMCC UHF-2 is up!

The new-to-us UHF-2 repeater, KB9OYP/R, is now operational at our Hinsdale Central High School repeater site!  It runs independent from the multicast system spanning our 2m, 1.25m, and 70cm repeaters, making it useful as a secondary channel for non-net traffic or as a backup SMCC net frequency.  The repeater committee will be reprogramming the courtesy tone soon, but the repeater will continue to sign KB9OYP/R with the blessing of the Illinois Repeater Association.


Many thanks to SMCC Life Member Lee Kudia, KB9OYP, for this wonderful donation.  Please enjoy the Six Meter Club of Chicago UHF-2 repeater responsibly! 

Please see below for our repeater details and radio programming information as of this writing.
