Puget Sound Repeater Group

Update 

PSRG added a “Voting System” in October 2018. This is a network of remote receivers scattered around the coverage area to enhance the coverage for people calling into the repeater. Although the system is one directional, i.e., the remote units can receive your signal, the output of the repeater still comes from Queen Anne. A more detailed explanation of how the system works has been provided by Doug Kingston, KD7DK: PSRG Voting System. PSRG Voting System.

You can look at the strength of the signals being received by each of the receivers in real time at the PSRG Supermon page.

There is an Extra Class coming up in late October and early November.   The class is sponsored by Mike & Key Amateur Radio Club, and it’s FREE.

Saturday, July 21 was a lovely memorial for our friend and mentor-to-many, LW, K7LWA. In honor of LW, who was occasionally seen in a tie-died shirt, a few of our members showed up appropriately attired. (Photo by Steve, N7GWG)
