SkyWarn will be using the 145.19 repeater for the foreseeable future. There is a 107.2 tone on the repeater. We would like as many people as possible to check in on Tuesday so we can check the coverage. I know it covers well into Johnson Co. but have not tested it in Wyandotte Co. The 146.70 repeater took a direct lightning strike last fall and has been out of service since. We are working on a replacement repeater and putting up the new antenna and hardline, but it probably will not be back until summer.
