ERECTED: There has been a packet node on this mountain since the late 80s, and the INDOES node has been there since the early 90s. The 6m node was added in 1998. The BROCK APRS digipeater was added in August 2002 to serve the needs of APRS users in the area.
COMMENTS: This site is an important link between N & NE Arkansas and the rest of the state. The 2m node covers the Batesville, Newport and Searcy areas.
