George, who has almost 40 years of experience in repeater building, is involved with the Bay-Net Amateur Radio Club and Repeater Network in the SF Bay Area of California. Bay-Net is an open amateur radio repeater system that provides wide-area coverage for public service events and emergency communications. The system includes 2m, UHF and 900 MHz linked analog repeaters, a D-Star digital repeater, Echolink, and IRLP VOIP services.
