I believe I contacted IRG about a year or so ago asking if you have any AREDN nodes in my area? VE9RCV is my local repeater, My Grid is FN57ti.

I love the concept of IRG, and to me it would just seem obvious that every IRG repeater should also be an AREDN node.

Please advise.

Weather Stations

I expect to be able to join more nets when I retire (in a month), including the weather net. My question is: what are people using for a weather station? My old station got damaged by racoons, so I will be looking for something new and much more modern and feature rich. I have found very little locally so may need to search online. I'd like something with a color display, an anemometer, rain guage, humidity, wind chill, temp etc. A wifi connected one might be preferable. I have not had a lot of success finding anything near what I want locally. Suggestions?

This new YSF (Yaesu System Fusion) repeater is located on Cooper Hill in Cooper, Maine (Same location as the more well known 147.330+ FM analog repeater).  It should give pretty good coverage throughout most of Charlotte County.  It is hard connected to Wires-X room #62148 (UFB New England).

The repeater's callsign ID is "KV1B" and it's a mixed mode YSF digital / FM analog system.  Using the digital side, it is linked to many other YSF repeaters around Maine.  Using the analog side, it is a standalone non-linked repeater.  From here, I'll try to keep it simple...
