[TriLUG] OT: area ham repeaters

[John Brier via TriLUG]

147.270 is the Johnston county or Johnston Amateur Radio Society, or
JARS, repeater. It has a lot of activity on net nights, particularly
weekends I believe, they can go for hours.
It used to be more popular than 145.210, the South Wake amateur club's
home repeater, which is now the most popular repeater IMO.
