Saginaw County and the State of Michigan have agreed to purchase an ATV repeater system out of Federal funds for local hams to provide Emergency Service Video.  We will be working on installation during spring and summer 2007.  The construction should present some great experience opportunities for area ham radio operators.  It's also our intention to provide training and assembly methods to help people build their home stations.
