Repeater Shed Repair Fund

Repeater Shed Update

Ed – N3WXW, and Tom – K3TWL, have determined what materials are need to repair the repeater shed which has suffered from years of water incursion and wood rot. https://www.paarc.net/wp-admin/edit.phpThe shed needs a new roof and much more so that it can continue to shelter the expensive radio equipment inside. A work crew is being put together and will tackle the shed repairs as a labor of love. The materials for the repairs are estimated at approximately $1,000.00.

We need the financial support of our members to cover this expense. Please donate to the Repeater Shed Repair Fund today. Repairs will begin soon.
