REPEATER<br />
After crys talli ng , refurbishing, manufacturing o f de c oder cards, and<br />
tweaking up on 444.425 and 449.425 mHz we hope to soon have t he "new"<br />
Motorola "MSY" machine on the mountain to r eplace the old Standard we' ve<br />
used so long .<br />
J ohn, WB6IQS , has done all of the preliminary wor k to get the MSY repeater<br />
s ready for the mountain. The channel elements have arrived from Inte r<br />
national crystals, and the tuning up of the repeater s ha s been done . Per <br />
haps, by the t i me you read this, we will have a "new" 450 mHz repeater on<br />
the mountain. - if all goes well.<br />
WB6IQS has installed a device t hat beeps every three s e conds when t he 2M<br />
repeater is on battery power. This sounds much like t he "courtes y beep"<br />
found on s ome machines to indicate that the time out t i me r ha s r e s e t . Whe n<br />
t his tone i s heard on W6NWG/R we must be aware that our use of t he r e peater<br />
shou l d be curtailed to preserve the battery in the c ase of a l engt hy powe r<br />
outage.<br />
We are remi nded that we shoul d wat ch our base to ba se QSOs during the<br />
he avy hours of mobile use: 0630-0830 and 1630-1830 . I f jamming is<br />
obse r ved on t he repeater, be sure a nd see i f you can hear the offendi ng<br />
s igna l on the repeater input (146.130 mHz). If you can, announc e the f ac t<br />
and your locat i on . If you have a directional antenna , try and determine<br />
t he direction t o t he source, of course!<br />
