147.015 Repeater;

Compiled & updated by Kenneth L Herring - WØHLK

---   ---   ---

GOOD NEWS, The Hamtronics CAT 250 Repeater that the Independence Amateur Radio Club has owned for several years is back on the Air in it's original location at the ARCO Building in Independence. The Frequency is 147.015 with a 91.5 tone. This gives the Independence area 2 Repeaters on 2 Meters. We will try to keep everyone up to date on all of the developments about "HAM RADIO" in Area.

N7CZR, Mike , W5 FFK, Don and KA1EBQ, Josh, got the repeater installed last Fri. evening. Mike and Don have made some improvements to the Repeater and the Antenna system, Also they have changed the 110V power wiring to make it more reliable.

There is still some tweaking to be done on the Repeater but it is up and running and sounds good. The 147.015 Freq. was used on the linking system that was used to link Fredonia, Independence & Neodesha together but that system has since been discontinued. Spread the word about getting this Repeater back on the air with the 147.015 Freq. Feel free to use this repeater and give it some exercise. Don't forget it requires the 91.5 Tone.

Hi Jason:  (Email sent 11-20-2014)
The name here is Ken (NUØB) in Coffeyville. Here is an attached (estimated) repeater coverage map for the 145.490 machine. I just thought you might like to look at it or add it to your Web Site.

Here is a link to do the repeater coverage's, it is free to Hams. http://www.cplus.org/rmw/rmonline.html
You can do the maps online or download the program, I do mine online.

I heard you and Mike talking about the CAT-250 controller, that is a nice controller. It came out in late 2002 to early 2003, I was one of the Beta testers for the ED250W editor. The Coffeyville Club has several of the CAT-250 controllers. We had a bunch of the options on, but after time people got tired of all the messages. There is a wealth of information available on the CAT Forums, look in both forums CAT-250 Controller and the ED250W Editor. The only thing we didn't like was the lack of memory in the micro-controller, 64Kb of ROM and 8Kb of RAM.  Al from CAT keep reminding us of that.

I have to run, have a nice day.

Thursday 8pm Weekly Net on the NØID Repeater

145.490 offset with 91.5 tone

On Thursday July 24th, 2014 Josh Othniel KA1EBQ hosted the first NØID radio networking show. Josh had patrons of the local radio club call in for tech questions on Ham Radio and open topics. He did a very professional job from 8pm to about 9:30. Some of our tech experts were on hand to provide walk through instructions and insights. Mike Byers N7CZR gave a wonderful analysis of antenna J-Pole systems, feedlines, and fine tuning methods with an in-depth engineering report. This was as good or better than the Ham Nation gigs because Mike and Josh stayed on point to the questions from locals and other cities that called in with specific questions.

Some of the discussions came from Dale Russell KBØWIZ,

 George Bellairs KBØZZT, Jason Wright KDØYEP, and Russell Fernandez

NØPGI, there were others, so send a list and it will get posted.

Tune in next Thursday 8pm for round two, and prepare your questions for the open discussions.

A slightly different version of this text is listed on the NET page, edited by Josh.
