WA5KUB's New Repeater System

Memphis, Tennessee - August 2004

Well after almost a year of living in Tennessee, we finally got the 444.775 MHz. repeater installed today ( 08/14/04 ).  Thanks go out to Bruce, KA5ELC and Danny, WA4ADT.

It is a Motorola Micor repeater and I have added a 2 meter remote base built from an ic2at handie-talkie.  You can steer all the two meter frequencies via touch tone through the uhf repeater.  In addition to the 2 meter remote base, it has a 24 hr ECHOLINK connection.  The node number is 23624.  It is located approx 180 foot above ground level.  The antennas are Phelps-Dodge station master antennas (one for uhf and one for 2 meters.)   It’s a pretty good site as we have a clear shot to the horizon in all directions.

Now when I travel, I can get on echolink and talk back to the Memphis gang.    Please give us a call on echolink  23624
