REPEATER ON THE AIR:

The 444.375 repeater located at Ensign is back on the air after a long absence. Mike KU0L went to Ensign and made the trip up the man lift of the grain elevator that houses the repeater. After replacing a fuse, cleaning some contacts and cleaning all the grain dust out of the cabinet, the repeater came back to life and works as good as ever. Thanks Mike.
