Hello,

My name is Rick and I hold both a Ham license and a GMRS license. I am creating this GoFundMe to maintain the new Parma 575 GMRS Repeater and add new functions, such as a severe weather alert system. I think we can all agree that the Parma 575 Repeater has been worth every penny so far, and with your donations we can keep it up and running. The repeater is located in the Cleveland Ohio area and the antenna is mounted 300 feet up the WJW Fox8 TV tower and covers a 60 mile radius which covers Cuyahoga and surrounding counties.

I want to say thank you to all those that have already donated and made this repeater possible.

Details of the Parma 575 repeater:

A popular, powerful GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) repeater in Northern Ohio, located on the WJW Fox 8 TV tower in Parma, operating on 462.575 MHz with a 79.7 Hz CTCSS tone (often Channel 16) for access, providing extensive coverage from Sandusky to Youngstown and beyond, and requiring a valid FCC GMRS license for legal use. It's known for its high elevation and strong signal, making it a key communication hub for the region's GMRS users.
