[HoustonHam] 146.94 W5APX Rptr BPT

[Chris Boone]

Today, the 146.94 W5APX repeater hit the air from its site....100Hz PL.....at 400ft TX and 500ft UHF rx (VHF RX feedline has water in it...sooooo waiting on Duplexer). 444.5 will be on soon crossbanded to it and both have been offered to NWS for Skywarn use....Talked to Roger at LCH NWS and let him know...with 444.5 xband working, the dual band radio at NWS LCH can monitor it while monitoring 146.73 LCH

It and 444.5 are also being made available for Red Cross Tour de Rouge...(as 444.5 was 5 years ago)...34/94 will cover almost to LCH once the rcvr issue is fixed (hey LEE!)

OR may use another VHF cable on site (need to hang a connector on it)..
