Club Repeater Update
Ok, time for a Club repeater update. We have received our frequency pair for the repeater that we are planning on installing at Station 76. A special thank you goes out the the Utah VHF Society for getting for finding an open pair. Our frequency is 448.800 Mhz with a negative offset. Jason and I climbed up on the roof of 76 Friday and played around with some different locations and the station looks to be a great location for us. We were actually able to contact someone in Ogden of 5 watts simplex. Not bad at all.
We are looking for some non penetrating roof antenna mounts like the one below. If anyone knows were we can find some used ones or a local source of them let us know. We will send out an announcement as we get closer to the install date.
