Plus offset 88 rptr fixed
The plus offset input, for the 146.88- repeater, has been deaf as of late. Installed a new receiving? antenna, thanks Skeet!, Monday about noon time. It hears much better now.
As some of you know, much of Bozeman lies in the shadow of the Bridger 146.88- repeater.
To help getting into the Bridger repeater from Bozeman, a plus offset input to it was placed on the roof of Cobleigh Hall some years ago.
To use it, just program in a 146.88+ 100Hz channel into your radios. Remember to switch back to the -offset when outside of Bozeman.
If you have had trouble getting into 88- from town, give the 88+ a try.

How about shim stock? On Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 12:08, Bruce Walker Does it have to be aluminum? I might be able to get that in steel from work as a donation. On Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 10:25, Harley ki7xf via There is an RLC-4 controller at each repeater site that needs a cover plate. .040 thick aluminum works just great, 4.4" x 7" is the perfect size. Can cut over sized pieces to fit.
The RLC-4 comes with an enclosure, but have modified it to make adjustments easier. Therefore, the need for a cover. I use neodymium magnets to hold the cover in place on the steel enclosure. No screws, just slide the cover away, make adjustments, and slide back into place.
Need about 10 pieces, a couple would get me by, the rest can wait until later. ERA needs 4 MRLA needs 3
Any ideas of where there might be some for the asking? Have checked Pacific every now and then, no luck so far.
Thanks, Harley

Re: looking for sheet aluminum
Steel doesn't work as well with the magnets. I have some steel covers, but don't like them as well as the aluminum ones.

starlink pass w/clear a sky forecast tonight
They say a clear sky will allow us to see this pass of 48 or so starlink satellites tonight.
6:26 pm first one rising in the SW 6:33 pm last one rising in the SW
rising to 72¡ã to 82¡ã in the SE
6:30 pm first one setting in the ENE
6:40 pm last one setting in the ENE
Face South or Southeast, watch them rise in the SW and set in the ENE.
Let there be clear skies this evening....
If it is clear, there will probably be a UFO invasion listed in the Chronicle police reports Wednesday. Just like the last good pass.
