Once installed, the antenna will be located at an elevation of approx 425 ft above sea level and will provide enhanced coverage across the island on the AIEOC channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until the installation is complete, I ask that you continue with your monthly&nbsp;Zone simplex nets within your Zone.&nbsp; Also, this is a great time to practice using the GMRS radio.&nbsp; We will start up the &#8220;First Sunday, All Zone Net&#8221; once the Matthews Way antenna is installed with&nbsp;the enhanced coverage. Also, we will continue with the &#8220;5th Saturday&#8221; exercises.&nbsp; The next one is May 30th, so stay tuned!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you so much for your support of AI Prepares!&nbsp; Keep an eye on the ECG website for net, drill scheduling and training information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Website<\/u><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/andersonislandecg.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">andersonislandecg.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good progress has been made on the GMRS repeater located at the Matthews Way water tower&nbsp;location.&nbsp; The repeater unit has been installed and is in the process of being tested.&nbsp; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wa7ai.org\/wp\/2026\/02\/01\/aiprep-gmrs-repeater-update-and-all-zone-net\/\">Continue Reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":206,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wa7ai.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wa7ai.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wa7ai.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wa7ai.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wa7ai.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wa7ai.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":204,"href":"https:\/\/wa7ai.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202\/revisions\/204"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wa7ai.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wa7ai.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wa7ai.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wa7ai.org\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
