[HCARC] 2 Meter Antenna

[Harvey N. Vordenbaum]

I should have added that since Chuck was working alone, the situation couldn't be fully tested out.   Both Mort and I had previous engagements Thursday.  Chuck who has to come from a considerable distance was already in the area, having worked on Bill Tynan's tower in the morning.

Johnny, 

The N5HR repeater has been having a problem lately.  At least half the sta tions that call into the Monday night net have a problem.  For some reason the repeater receiver is picking up a lot of noi se.  The noi se you are probably hearing is being transmitted by the repeater.  Using a gain antenna for receive will not help you at all.  On transmit, if your signal is one of the no isy ones, a gain antenna may help give you a better signal to noise ratio at the repeater receiver.  The real solution to the problem is to figure out what the problem is with the repeater receiver and get that fixed.   

Perhaps Harvey can give us an update on the repeater noise situation. 

In any event, I don't think it is a problem with your antenna or transceiver. 

Kerry, K5KS
