Cheyenne Repeater Updates - June 2011

New 440 Link antenna installed at the Albin 147.165 Site!

Saturday, 7 Nov 2009, a group of Hams, George, N7JJY, Pam, KD7LLI, Fred, KD7LLF, Pam, KE7UUD, Darro, KE7RQB, Mike, N7MEW and Tom, WB4UIC went to the Albin Site and replaced the broken 5-element 440 antenna and re-aimed it towards the 146.775 Site on Horse Creek. The party went smooth, and the antenna is back up and operational. The antenna is an Arrow A440-5S 5 Element Beam at about 90+ feet. This antenna will be re-aimed to the new 146.775 Site on Fox Farm soon in 2011, but is functional.

A New Home for the 147.105 / 146.775 Machines - June 2011

After some though, it was agreed that these 2 repeaters will be swapped in location to eliminate the interference from the Base site on Horse Creek. The new Kenwood TKR-750 146.775 repeater is now back at the original Fox Farm site, and the new Kenwood TKR-750 repeater for the 146.105 is now at the original North Park Horse Creek Rd. site. This has seemed to eliminate the interference, and will be permanent homes for these repeaters.

The 440 Link Issue to the 147.165 Repeater in Albin, WY

The link between the 105 and 165 repeaters will be terminated due to the move of the 105 repeater. The link will now go between the 147.165 in Albin and the 146.775 at the Fox Farm site in Cheyenne. Greg, WB7GR, and others did a great job putting the site up with a new 440 antenna at Fox farm. The link is now re-established, and minor tweaks will be needed, but it's working fine. We finally have our link between Cheyenne, and the Nebraska Panhandle re-established! There is also the Weather alerts, and controller back on the 146.775.
