6/10 meter project


 

Hi everyone,
For those that are interested in helping install the 6/10 meter split site repeaters this Saturday, we will be meeting at Smoky Mo¡¯s BBQ in the Whataburger shopping center in Round Rock around 9am. I¡¯ll be coming back from EMS shift work with a 2 hr drive, so if you can¡¯t be there by 9am, no worries- I¡¯m probably going to be late myself. From there we will form a plan. Talk in and event operations will be on 444.875 + 5mhz PL 100.0 analog so that the digital linked system won¡¯t be flooded with play by plays-LOL!

The weather looks like it¡¯s going to cooperate!

73!

Sure Greg! ?It¡¯s not completely ready as I need to install a new antenna for the link frequency as the frequency is too low for the current installed antenna to be an efficient antenna. ? I¡¯m hoping to have that antenna in by this weekend so that the repeater is ready for use. ?Just waiting on good ole USPS to deliver.

10 meter repeater: ?
Rx/TX/PL
29.640/29.540/ PL 110.9

6 meter repeater:
Rx/TX/PL
52.950/51.950/ PL 100.0

Just as an FYI: ?I designed these repeaters to be fun repeaters to talk DX for when the band opens up. ?They weren¡¯t designed to be used as local to local communications. ?As such, each transmitter is only doing 30 watts. ?As everyone knows, if the band isn¡¯t open, 10 and 6 meter coverage varies. ?Just didn¡¯t want everyone to have high expectations as we know we are on the low end of the solar cycle. ?;-)

I¡¯ll announce to the group when I have the new link antenna installed. ?Don¡¯t want anyone thinking their radio isn¡¯t working. ?LOL!

With that said, I hope everyone enjoys and gets to play with them. ?Please let me know what kind of range you get out of them. ?The receiver for both 6/10 are located on top of St David¡¯s Round Rock Medical Center. ?The transmitter for both 6/10 is located on the roof of St David¡¯s Surgical Hospital. ?Both antennas are Diamond CP-610 Omni directional.
