Earlier this week Wednesday, Jun 8th 2016, in partnership w/ The Honorable Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, KA0PHD – Sgt. Hall and KC0OUZ – Adam, I moved my N0AGI-5 Digi/iGate over to the Medina site that also hosts my N0AGI-MED DMR Repeater System. The new call sign for the APRS station is N0AGI-1.
