In the fall of 2000 and spring of 2001 Bob first tries some IRLP nodes while visiting in Utah and decides to get one started in Idaho.
Bob, being the proud appliance operator that he is, gets technical assistance from his son Joe (KD7CQZ) . Joe then ropes in their Linux using friend Mike (KB7RCF) to help with setting up the node on an old 266MHz computer. After a couple of months full of head scratching, some rather creative uses of language, mostly by Mike who dislikes Red Hat , and E-mails to Dave (VE7LTD) we finally got the node running 18th July, 2001.
There have been several upgrades to the node since then including moving from a 266MHz Intel computer running Red Hat 6.3 to the IRLP Version 3 board on a 900MHz Athlon running Red Hat 7.3, and finally going from Yaesu mobile to the repeater.
We finally gone the repeater up on 28 February 2004.
I would like to give a BIG thanks to (KB7RCF) and (KD7CQZ) for all their work put the node together. I would also like to thank Conrad (KC7EIN) , Dave (KB7EIN) , Mike (W7RWS) , and Bob (W7ZU) for all the equipment they gave and loaned me so I could get this node on the air.
And finally to Dave (VE7LTD) and his helpers for writing and maintaining the software and hardware that makes it all work.
