Welcome to the South
Carolina District for the SERA. I am Roger Gregory, W4RWG. I live
in Union, SC, and have been a ham since 1993. I am an Extra Class
Operator and trustee of three repeaters coordinated by the SERA. As the
Director for South Carolina, I promise to handle all coordination issues in a
timely matter. I will be coordinating repeaters in western South
Carolina while Jim Cantrell, WJ4C, the SC Vice Director will be coordinating
repeaters in eastern South Carolina. (See
the South Carolina map on this page to determine which coordinator should
receive your application).
Repeater coordination in South Carolina is becoming very difficult on 2
meters, as it is in all states, under the blanket of SERA. Although I
understand that many of you want a two meter repeater, please consider 50 MHz,
222 MHz, 440 MHz , or even 1270 MHz for your repeater project. If
your club would like to learn more about SERA or repeater coordinations,
contact me or Jim and we will try to make arrangements to come to your
meeting. As your Director, I work closely with the SERA Frequency
Coordinators in North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee to insure that new
repeaters can operate without causing interference to each other.
If you have a coordinated repeater in South Carolina, a datasheet is
mailed to you or your trustee each year. It is very
important that you return
your datasheet in a timely manner.
If you are not receiving a datasheet
(a separate one for each repeater that has
been coordinated), contact
me at once. This is the only way we can know if your repeater is
still on the air. In order for
SERA Frequency Coordinators to do their job, they must have accurate
and up to date information. Contact me for any assistance.
Thank You and 73,
Roger W. Gregory, W4RWG
SERA President and South Carolina Director
