Due to some recent problems on the K9WZ Repeater, Wayne the owner of the
repeater has been forced to revise our rules for using the repeater.
Please go to the K9WZ Repeater’s web site at www.k9wzrepeater.org
and read all the information listed under the link “Before you use the
repeater”.
These revised rules apply to all users of the repeater, regardless of
whether they are a supporting member or not. They also apply to anyone
participating in the Red Eye Net which is not part of the Repeater, but run
by Jimmie N9VXQ on the repeater. We ask for everyone’s cooperation in
following these new rules.
We have also been forced to make some hardware changes to the repeater to
allow us to better monitor, and control the repeater. One of these changes
was the addition of a 24 hour logging, and recording system that records all
traffic on the repeater. This equipment is in addition to the monitoring that
has always been done by the various control operators, and others. Other
hardware changes are being made to allow us to handle other problems as they
arise in the future.
We have temporarily programmed the repeater to shut off between 9 pm and
6 am each night except Saturday, which is programmed to allow for the Red Eye
Net. We hope to resume full 24 hour service in the near future.
We have also added 2 mailers to our web site. Both mailers will be used
to dissimulate information about the repeater, among other things. One mailer
is open to all amateurs, and the other is reserved for supporting members. We
invite you to join them. See the mailer page at our web site for more details
regarding their use, and intended usage.
We have a great group of people who regularly use and visit the K9WZ
repeater. We have attempted to make it a fun, friendly, and exciting place to
visit. Considerable effort has been extended to make this repeater, one of
the most feature packed and wide coverage repeaters around. We have
appreciated the support of our members that helped in this effort, over the
years. We now request everyone’s cooperation, member and visitor alike
to continue this tradition in the future. Thank you! And 73’s
