The Jersey Amateur Radio Repeater Group has had a successful nine months or so of fund raising since its inception. So much so that they are now in position to complete the acquisition of the repeater equipment. It had been hoped, having secured a site in St. Helier, that the installation could have moved on late in 2009 but when the site fell through an alternative had to be found and has resulted in a delay. They now have agreement from the Jersey Electricity Company to site the repeater at their Queens Road premises, a good location with a good 'take off for the island and beyond. They hope to have the repeater on air soon with the help and assistance of the members of the group and anyone else who would like to 'pitch in'. The Jersey repeater, once commissioned, will operate on the 2m band on 145.6375MHz, CTCSS code B, 600kHz repeater shift, locator IN89we.
