(No Tone) repeaters and antennas are located in Acre, GA on a local AM/FM Radio Station tower.
The 146.82 antenna is at about 600' and 444.50 antenna is at
400'.
The 146.70 repeater is
no longer in operation. We lost the tower and locateion at Rodd Electronics.
The 146.70 frequency is still assigned to the Albany Club so if
the occasion ever presents ifself we could put that frequency
back in operation..
The 146.73 repeater antenna is located
at 260' on the Oxford Construction Co. tower located at 3200
Palmyra Rd.; Albany, GA. This
repeater site is being provided as a courtesy of Kelso Gooden

D-Star Repeater Information
KJ4KLD in Albany
has 3 repeaters: 144.96 + 2.5 (KJ4KLD C); 440.7 + 5 (KJ4KLD B)
[the space is important]; and 1249.25 (KJ4KLD A). The latter is
high speed data (pictures) only and simplex, and maybe not of
interest to us here just now.
Why have the high
speed data repeater?
GEMA funded the big DSTAR program so that info could be relayed.
This system, unlike any other commercially available just
now, can send a good picture reliably and live from, say, an
airplane to GEMA or any other 1.2 gig DD repeater in an
emergency! Imagine a
flood or damage from wind.)
Gene W4AYK has
established a Phoebe Putney Radio Club KK4LLV for the purpose of
having a Call for the Phoebe club station and D-Star repeater.
