WA2FDU Chief op Steve has been a ham since the mid 70's. He has a great ham location as his QTH is Onondaga Hill at about 1000' ASL.  Steve is one of the founders of the 145.27 (PL 103.5) Echolink repeater in Pompey.

The above map shows relative signal strength for the 145.27+ repeater in Pompey, just south of Syracuse, NY.  As you can well see the repeater covers a vast portion of CNY.  Steve invites everyone to use the .27 for home base when out and about in Central NY.
