Good news

 

The new Grand Lake repeater has been added to the IRG linking system.  VE9GLA has a frequency of 145.190 (minus offset).  The repeater is located on Hardwood Ridge, and is now included in the Stanley Zone in the linking system.  Users can use the regular codes to link to or from Stanley Zone for contact within Grand Lake area.

The repeater was installed in December 2019 and was operating with good coverage as a stand-alone repeater.  With its hard-link to Stanley, VE9GLA adds a wider area coverage to central New Brunswick.
