Updated 3/16/2020 regarding our April meeting, which has been cancelled.
It’s a great day to be alive and living in the San Luis Valley. As of yesterday (3/9/20), our repeater is operational. There is still much to do, but it is up and running in less than 6 months from our forming as a club. That’s incredible!
For now, if you use the repeater, please identify not only yourself but the repeater as well. This should be done when you check into the repeater, when you check out of the repeater and at increments of no more than 10 minutes. For example: “This is WA2JAL, through the KØSLV repeater.” This insures that the transmissions via our repeater are legal according to FCC regulations. Once the automatic repeater ID system is functional, doing this will no longer be necessary. Watch our Facebook group for more information.
Access to the repeater is open, but does require a tone. The frequency is: 449.625 with a minus offset and a 94.8 tone. If you are having trouble programming your rig, please don’t hesitate to reach out to one of us for help.
For now, the weekly net on Thursday evenings at 8PM will remain on the following repeaters. Watch our Facebook group for any changes.
- NØKM – 146.640. 77.0 tone. Center, CO
- NØKM – 447.100. 77.0 tone. Center, CO
- WEØFUN – 449.975. 100.0 tone. Methodist Mtn, Salida, CO
- NØPKT – 449.525. 100.0 tone. Bristol Head, Creede, CO
The April 4th meeting and testing has been cancelled. Board members “may” opt to meet via on-line means. Stay up to date on what’s going on with the club on our Facebook Group.
73’s until next time.
