We are about 10 miles away once you turn off Hwy 45 at the Sprint Cross Roads Gas station (at the only Stop Light in Hamilton, MS). At about 7 miles up, the road splits. Go left up on Grubbs Springs Rd for about 3 miles. The road sign is not clearly visible so JUST VEER LEFT AT THE FORK IN THE ROAD onto Grubb Springs RD. When you are approaching our drive, you will pass a large, empty fenced in area, then a single family dwelling, then a wooded area with small family cemetery. Once you pass this, our driveway turn in is a very sharp right turn (again, wooded, so won’t see until you are up on it). Our mailbox is numbered. There are actually three mailboxes there. If you pass the driveway/private road, you will see nice brick home on your right. There is a turn-around drive way just past that house, but on the left side of the road.
WE ARE BACK IN THE WOODS SO YOU WILL NOT FIND US UNTIL YOU DRIVE UP OUR LONG DRIVEWAY, UP THE HILL.
AS YOU COME UP THE HILL, TURN RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE HILL. YOU WON’T MISS THE BARN.
We have a new repeater at the Maben Fire Tower installed by the Magnolia ARC K5DY. The 2 meter frequency is 147.315+ with a tone of 110.9 and the 70cm frequency is 444.325 with a tone of 110.9
It’s located on the west side of Oktibbeha county off of the Maben Sturgis Road. The repeater appears to have good coverage.
