  • Springfield - Online
  • West Liberty - On hold
  • Worthington/CMHSW2 - Online, recently added 3.585 USB WINMOR port. Ideally want to install end fed half wave for 30m and 80m to help reduce crosstalk.
  • Worthington/CMHSW3 - Offline, hopefully pending move
  • Upper Sandusky - On hold, Richwood side is now online. Get in contact with station engineer. See what facilities are available. Reach out to local club to see if any sponsorship can be gained (Mainly antennas, feedline and power supplies). Ideally would like to link to Richwood, possibly Mechanicsburg to the south then Findlay and Tiffin to the north.
