Just a tad bit of QRM here. I suspect it's the battery charger I'm using as a temporary power supply. Normally I have a bunch of filters between the radio and the power system too. That's also missing. Once it's reinstalled the problem should go away. I hope. Lest it's something harder to fix...
Note: Frequency is subject to change. Although it's been quite a while without issue so it's probably fine here.

I've turned off the VA-Sterling room for now as I've got my node defaulting to the Virginia room with a few other nodes in the state.
The Sterling, VA, USA repeater and WIRES-X node is now up and operational.
It is a full duplex WIRES-X node, C4FM Repeater, and FM Repeater in FM19ha run by KG4TIH.
Sterling, Va now has a Wires-X node (100% digital with full control) on 439.800MHz.
Note: If/when coordinated frequencies come in and the associated repeater is up, the frequencies will change.
On Tuesday 2019-10-29 at 11:01 AM US/East a team of amateur radio operations, myself included, made contact with the International Space Station. Thirteen students from Farmwell Station Middle School (FSMS), part of Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS), were able to ask questions of Dr. Drew Morgan.
