Repeater work - October 2023

There will be a fair bit of repeater work happening over the next few weeks.

A trip is being planned to repair the damaged repeaters at the 147.380 Dunn Peak site. General inspection, re-neutralization of the signal paths, and installation of isolators on both the VHF and UHF radios to prevent future damage due to lightning strikes and high SWR.

Once that project is complete, we will be servicing the feedlines and antenna at the 147.220 Riverside site following lightning damage earlier in the year. At a minimum the feedline will be replaced and new lighting protection installed. During the winter we may find a moment to start the overhaul in the building.

K7UB-R Echolink node operational! (645522)

The node is still living in the shed at the home of KG7RDR. Due to a failing radio it has a bit of a buzz right now. The node will be moved to the Riverside repeater during the overhaul when it happens.

Upcoming Events

Topic: Repeaters, and what to do when they are not by KG7RDR.

We will be discussing repeater construction, usage, and best practices along with what to do when they aren't working properly. Please bring your favorite handheld with you for practice. 


We are planning another year of Winter Field Day at the City (airplane) park. Event oficially begins at noon on Saturday 24 hours through noon on Sunday. 

We usually setup Saturday morning  and can use help getting antennas in the air. This is a perfect opportunity for everyone to get on the air in a relaxed environment. Details can be found on KC7RCN.org
