WØNED Repeater ...

Greetings everyone!  

I got an incredible and unexpected surprise yesterday when Doug (K2AD) emailed to say that he had our repeater programmed, tuned, and functional in one of his mobile comms vans.  It is currently located somewhere near Firestone, and using the commercial antenna atop the pneumatic mast on the van (likely not extended), but it is in fact operational.  We did some testing with it yesterday and last night, and it was crystal clear and sounding good, even from Nederland.  

This is only a temporary arrangement for testing purposes, and in no way reflects what the repeater's capability and reach will be given it's temporary location and configuration, but it's a huge step toward getting the repeater up and functional.  

Please join me in extending our gratitude to Doug for helping us with this project, and feel free to try and reach the repeater and test it out from your location.  I will be monitoring it as I am able, and Doug will be continuing his testing on the system as his schedule allows.   

Once again, here are the details for the WØNED repeater:

Repeater ID:  WØNED
Frequency:  448.550 MHz
Offset:  5 MHz (negative)
PL Tone:  141.3 Hz

73 to you all!

I am personally very excited by the prospect of the IPRC getting back out into the field and doing some in person radio exercises and making some contacts for summer field day weekend on 26 and 27 June this year.  I have never been able to participate in a field day with this club, and I have the COVID induced cabin fever something fierce, so I am all in.  I have a small pop up camper trailer, a generator, deep cycle batteries, a solar charging array, and a plethora of radios and antennae.  I will definitely be participating in some capacity at one location or another, and I would very much like to camp out for the weekend in my trailer on site. Let's use this blog entry to have an interactive discussion about field day weekend.  We would like to know who is intere
