Jonas Ridge 444.625 repeater off-air

The repeater was reported permanently off-air because its host radio site was being deconstructed. The post says it had operated since April 2013 and provided coverage from Blowing Rock, NC toward Spartanburg, SC and into the Charlotte area.

Poor Mountain connectivity

Two archived posts described unstable IP connectivity at the Poor Mountain hub, which connected the Virginia repeaters and provided their connection back to North Carolina.

The Farmville UHF 444.325 repeater was reported linked full-time to HEARS, while the VHF 146.910 repeater was linked for the nightly net and otherwise operated standalone.
