147.120 repeater gets battery backup

The 147.120 wide area repeater located on Scray's Hill now has battery backup. There was discussion at a previous club meeting on this and a motion was made and passed to install a battery. The battery installed is a 90 amp hour agm type telecom battery and should run the repeater for several hours of continuous use during a power outage.
