We established Communications between 3 PODs, Nashua, Merrimack, and Amherst on the N1IMO repeater system. We checked simplex operation with w1zc in Mason, NH. WL2K was attempted but link could not be established without outside antenna. We need to see about setting up a station at Public Health Headquarters and maybe get antennas installed at main shelter and distribution sites.
