WILLIAMS — In January a strong snow storm knocked out the antennas for the repeaters on Bill Williams mountain. The two main repeaters are the UHF Western Intertie Network system and the VHF repeater operated by the Bill Williams Mountain Radio club.

The road to Bill Williams mountain is poorly maintained. The snow and ice after a major storm make it impassable. It only became usable recently.

Starting last Friday crews worked through the weekend to get the repeaters back on line.

Bryan W7BNW and his wife worked to restore the antennas for the WIN system repeater. He is currently working on the uplink radio so that Hams from Arizona can connect to the network that mostly covers California.

Jud N6GYF traveled from California to repair the antenna for the standalone Bill Williams Mountain Radio Club repeater on 146.780. This repeater allows Hams from Flagstaff, to Prescott to Seligman to communicate.

These crews are amateur radio volunteers and we appreciate their efforts.
