147.040 Repeater Back on the Air in Full Service!
The club's 147.040 Mhz repeater is back on the air in FULL service.
On Friday July 19th, we took a look at the coax connections up on
top of the water tank. We found the connect at the bottom of the
antenna where the coax jumper connects to the antenna to be
corroded and showed signs of moisture. We replaced the coax jumper
that runs between the antenna and the feedline, and we cleaned up the
connector on the bottom of the antenna. We also checked the VSWR of
the antenna, which was 1.52:1. After that was done, we weatherproofed
each of the coax connections.
Our 147.040 Mhz repeater has a plus offset, and a PL tone of 103.5.
