General Stuff:

The
repeaters (442.45/146.955) are located at the water tower
at Prospect Hill in Westford. Antennas are a Diamond F-23
on 146, and an Austin station master on 440. The antenna
elevation is 579 feet/AMSL. The exact location is N42.34.36
W71.26.33. Transmitters are located in the Cingular cell
site. We are running 55 watts on 146 and 18 watts on 440.
·
Since the
controllers on both repeaters are now identical most
functions and commands are now identical.

the FCC requirement of 10 minutes between ID.
