VHF / UHF Repeaters
My interest in Amateur Radio has spread into VHF/UHF repeaters.
I have my own repeater in Milwaukee on 442.425MHz (127.3PL required). It's built
from GE Delta II radios, SCom 5K controller and DB Products 4 bay commercial
antenna. My thants to KA9FUR Dave and N9NPB Mike for a lot of help in getting
it all going. I am also involved with many other repeaters and clubs around
the Milwaukee Area.
My interest in repeaters has evolved to my current position
of Chairman of the Wisconsin Association
of Repeaters (W.A.R.). My work with W.A.R. is mostly administrative, writing
articles for our newsletter, developing meeting agendas, and sorting out the
occasional "issue" that comes up in coordinating frequencies for
new repeaters within the crowded spectrum space we have to work with, especially
in the 2 meter band. W.A.R. maintains close contact with similar groups in
the surrounding states, to ensure compatibility and noninterference of repeater
systems. We hold 3 meetings per year, these are open meetings and ALL are
invited to attend. For further information please see the Wisconsin
Association of Repeaters WWW page, or send
me a note.
