[HiDARG-MEMBERS] Hotspots/Nodes/ETC

[KI7UNJ Tucker]

The Node that is running on 146.500 is owned by  KF7BFM it is allstar node
49048

http://stats.allstarlink.org/nodeinfo.cgi?node=49048

The coverage I know of at this point is about S-2 in the south bend at
Walmart and S-7/8 from DCSO on the south of town. Based on this the Node is
located at the OPs QTH.

Would like to see if users in the northern area are able to copy it,
(Prineville) it ID's with CW not sure on the time frame but did at 0700
this morning.

I do not know the input PL tone to be able to activate it.
