Well everyone, It was a long 10 hour day at Fremont Peak yesterday, but I’m pleased to announce that the antenna installation is complete. The new 4 Bay Dipole is located at the 140ft level of the tower, fed with 1-1/4 inch hardline and hearing many of you on the air testing it though out the day proves that the system is covering as expected. The coverage map of the system has also been added to the website. I would like to encourage everyone to try the system out! 441.900 + PL 110.9 and for P25 NAC $293.
Everyone, I am pleased to announce the launch of our new site and latest addition to the Salinas Valley Repeater Group linked system. This new site will greatly enhance our coverage in south Santa Clara County, San Benito County and the surrounding areas. Please keep in mind that the system is on a temporary antenna so performance will be greatly enhanced once the scheduled tower climb is completed.
Frequency: 441.900MHz + 110.9, NAC $293
In the early 2000’s Sean W6MOW installed a UHF repeater on Fremont Peak. That system in combination with Mike W6WLS on Empire Grade is what gave the spark for the repeater system that we have today. Those two systems were the source many years of fun conversations and interesting times on the radio. If it wasn’t for all the cool people that I’ve met because of ham radio that took the time help me over the years the Salinas Valley Repeater Group wouldn’t exist. I would like to take a moment to say Thank You to everyone who has volunteered their time, knowledge, equipment, and provided us with the tower sites that makes this system what it is today.
