146.820 (146.220) is located on a local Wilmington tower at approximately 1800 feet elevation. This is to ensure a coverage of about 100 miles. Due to interference, a tone of 88.5 mhz is needed to activate the repeater. It is connected to the PCRN Linking System allowing access to numerous repeaters throughout NC and surrounding areas. The local SKYWARN for the Wilmington Office of the National Weather Service is activated on the repeater in times of need.
