Repeaters are not dying; they are full of potential for vibrant conversation and community engagement. The episode delves into how ham radio operators can revitalize these communication hubs by throwing out their call signs, starting conversations, and participating in local nets. We discuss the relevance of repeaters in modern ham radio and the coexistence of digital modes with traditional analog communication. The community can keep repeaters alive and thriving by fostering respect and welcoming dialogue.

• Exploring the current state and relevance of ham radio repeaters 
• Sharing positive engagement experiences and community-building strategies 
• Encouraging active participation and connection among operators 
• Highlighting the coexistence of digital modes and traditional communication 
• Emphasizing the importance of respect and adherence to repeater etiquette
