​ The Sunday night Fillmore County Net on the Wykoff repeater has changed times from 8:45pm to 7:45pm. This 1 hour earlier start time will allow our local repeater users to listen and participate in the Southern MN Fusion room net which starts at 8:30pm on Sunday nights without interruption. We encourage all with Fusion radios to both join us for the local net at 7:45pm and the Fusion net at 8:30pm. The Southern MN Fusion room has had up to 17 repeaters and nodes connected for this regional net with lots of traffic. The club’s Racine 444.250 repeater is connected to this room.
