   Churchill, PEI (Main TX/RX site and UHF HUB/Links)
   Cornwall,  PEI (UHF IRLP Link & Control site VY2CRA)
	 
	 
Equipment:       
     As of 2022-09 the VHF/UHF repeaters have been re-arranged so that system control
is now at the Churchill site since it has full backup power.(Thanks Fiona) 
The VY2CBC UHF Hub (447.750-) is now directly connected to the new RC-210 controller 
on Port-3, where Port-2 has the UHF Link to MAVCOM in Springhill,NS. 
The Cornwall site still has the 444.400+ Mhz repeater, but now used as a UHF Hub for
VY2CRA, the Belfast repeater on 146.715- Mhz. Added VY2KCR 146.895- at Cape Bear (temp).

     As of 2020-09 the VHF & UHF repeaters have been upgraded to Tait T800 SeriesII.
All transmitters use a CTSS tone of 100.0Hz  for TSql.(Tone Squelch)
As of 2022-10-15 the 146.670 repeater requires a 100.0 Hz tone on the RX input as well.
