NEA Link System Expanded
NEA Link System Expansion Reaches Dell, Arkansas
The Lawrence County Amateur Radio Club (LCARC) and the Northeast Arkansas (NEA) Link System are pleased to announce the addition of a new linked repeater in Dell, Arkansas, located in Mississippi County near Blytheville.
A special thank you goes to Steve Crossknoe (N5EQW) and Ray Maynard (N0LGR) for their hard work, dedication, and patience in getting this repeater installed and operational. While a few adjustments and fine-tuning may still be needed, the system is currently up and running and providing reliable communications.
The Dell repeater operates on:
- Frequency: 444.650 MHz
- PL Tone: 186.2 Hz
This repeater is now linked to the Pocahontas repeater and the rest of the repeaters throughout the NEA Link System, significantly expanding coverage across Northeast Arkansas, as well as portions of Southeast Missouri and West Tennessee.
We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to all of the repeater owners and volunteers who continue to maintain and support the linked system. Their ongoing efforts help ensure dependable amateur radio communications throughout the region.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this expansion possible. 73!
