W8MSU Repeater
We’re pleased to announce the wide availability of the MSU ARC repeater to those in the Greater Lansing Area:
Analog or C4FM RF: 442.900 MHz, +5 Offset, TSQL 77 Hz
Digital Remote Access:
Wires-X: US-WM-Connect, 21335
YSF (Hotspots or Droidstar App): US-WM-Connect, 21335
Analog Remote Access:
Allstar: 27664
Echolink: W8MSU-R, 442900
Please note that the analog and digital sides of the repeater are discrete. Analog users will not hear any digital traffic and vice versa.
Feel free to change the Wires-X room at will. It will default back to WM-Connect after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Nets:
Thursday at 8:00pm EST – Any and all are welcome to join via analog RF, Allstar, or Echolink. This is immediately followed by a Zoom meeting. The weekly link for this can be found on the MSU ARC Discord page. Net control rotates between MSU ARC student, alumni, and friend of the club members.
Tuesday at 7:00pm EST – As part of the West Michigan Connect digital system (WM-Connect, https://www.hamfusion.com), join Andy N8HUB for an international conversation with stations checking in from all over the globe.
