3	A Bit of History 1984: The 39 repeater is put in service by Dave Metz and was located in Meredith. Not sure if it was always on Gilman Hill… 1992. Dave Metz announces he is selling the repeater. A club member, Richard Hansen - KA1BUC, purchases the repeater. The repeater remained in Meredith on Gilman Hill. 1998: KA1BUC decides to sell the 39 repeater so CNHARC decides to get into the repeater business. The repeater remains in Meredith on Gilman Hill. We applied for a club call and were assigned KB1BRZ, this call is used on the repeater. We also take on a $1000.00 a year tower rental fee. 1999: Repeater was moved to new location on Liberty Hill in Gilford and was given our new club call of W1JY. We also are at the site rental free! 2000: After series of repeater equipment issues, new repeater equipment was put into service at the new Liberty Hill location also allowing us new features and flexibilities. 2004: We add a second repeater, the 146.985, in Moultonborough. This repeater is installed at Arthur Abbott’s (N1WMI) tower next to Red Hill at no cost to the club. 2004: We created an Echolink node and ran from a remote location since it needs access to the internet. 2005: A remote base radio was installed at the 39 site. It is used to connect to the 985 repeater in Moultonborough. We go through a series of multi-path issues on the remote base, so it’s set as RX only. We also assume the electric bill at the Liberty Hill site. 2007: A cable modem was installed at the 39 site and the Echolink node was moved to there. We also disconnected our Verizon phone line and installed a VoIP phone system saving money! 2008: Who knows???
