What does it look like when it rains on your tower and coax…this gives you an idea how water can build up so much in your unsealed or poorly sealed coax connections or fiberglass antenna joints.

I'm reaching out for Mississippi Hams. I have 50 repeaters listed on my aging report. These are repeaters that have had no updates for 2 or more years.
I have them listed in a spreadsheet, if you could take a look , if there is one near you that you can confirm on air or off air and add that to the far right column it would be a good help.
Or even better, click on the Frequency to go to the Repeaterbook.com listing and submit an update directly.
