[HIham] Fwd: Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa Repeaters

[Ron Hashiro]

 From Bob Schneider, AH6J

FYI,

On Thursday May 5 (5/5/05) members of BIARC plan to “temporarily” 
replace the Mauna Loa repeater (KH6EJ) with the BIARC portable repeater. 
This means 146.82 MHz (-) frequency and the link to Waimea and Kona will 
be out of service for some time. The “stand alone” frequency will be 
146.68 MHz (-). It may be linked from time to time via either echo link 
or IRLP. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have the system 
back to normal ASAP depending on what problems we encounter during the 
upgrade.

The RACES repeater system is an alternate path. It operates on 147.04 
MHz (+) (AH6JA) from Mauna Loa, 146.02 MHz (+) from Haleakala Maui and 
146.06 MHz (+) from Diamond Head. They are all linked.

Reminder: Tuesday (5/3/05) Noon to 1PM is the monthly test of the Mauna 
Kea Repeater. It operates on 146.72 MHz (-) and is sponsored by 
Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD). It has been having 
problems so it may take high power and a good antenna to access it. 
Please send “heard” reports to AH6J or AH6HN at their arrl.net address.

73,

Bob, AH6J
