Ulster County has a new repeater!!
A 6m repeater with a callsign of N2WCY has been added to the area thanks
to WB2YAF, N2WCY, KB2ZST, N2MCI and others. The machine operates on
53.110 mhz output and 52.110 mhz input at 110 watts with a backup 50 watt
unit. , no PL and is approx. 900 ft ASL and has excellent coverage to the
South, West and East of a location near Woodstock, NY. There are transmit
and recieve cavities and work off matching folded groundplane antennas.
Thanks to K2ROB for his technical help (Rob is unbelievable when it comes
to his assistance). Enjoy the new capabilities!!!
New OMARC repeaters are in the works!!
The first one is a 440 band unit. N2VOT has donated a Motorola Mitrek and
4-bay folded dipole antenna, K2ROB has modified the transceiver, cans were
donated by KB2RWW and N2MCI has it in his hands for testing. The search for
a frequency of 447.x25 or 447.x75 (up to 449.x25 or 449.x75) output, down
1 mhz, with a PL of 77 hz is on (N2GMB) and as soon as possible, the crystals
will be ordered and N2MCI will put it on-line for testing. Power out is approx.
40w and the location is to be determined. The second will be a 220
mhz machine, probably located on Benedictine Hospital (they have given us
prime commercial space up there!!!) This is still in the planning stages.
The plan is to link these repeaters at some point as well as remote receivers
into the 2m unit. An ambitious project. Thanks to all that have contributed,
money, equipment, sweat and technical support.
The WA2MJM-15 APRS digipeater is up and
