Hi to all,
I joined the club a few months ago after retiring from the FAA.
Unfortunately, it is hard for me to make meetings on Saturday morning.  My
wife ,W1LCO, and I moved here from the Pacific Northwest about 12 years ago.
I really love the environment here in the northern front range.
When I first became a ham in 1958, it was as a  result of a lot of help from
caring hams.
Now that I have the time, I would like to repay the favor. I am certainly no
expert, but in 40+ years, you have to learn something.;<)  I have a fair
amount of knowledge ( especially concerning HF) and a assortment of test
equipment.
So in short, if any one is experiencing trouble with their stations, or
needing assistance in any other way, please let me know.  The worst that can
happen is that I can say " I'm not that smart."  But I would feel very
satisfied if I could help someone make their Ham Radio experience more
pleasant.
73,
Ken W7TS

I've got a contact out in Nebraska that is willing

XEL company, 4110-F00 and 4210-F00  low noise telephone

here wants to put in 12 phone circuits between

Directions:  Through Laporte, up Rist canyon.  14.4 miles from the light where the road to Laporte leaves 287, at the top of the hill there is a sign on the left for Buckhorn mountain. Half a mile up that road there is a gate on the right.  We are on the hill behind the first house on the right.  I will place signs to help.  Rist canyon road is paved. From there on it is gravel.  Normal cars should have no problem. A short hike up the hill (at 8000ft) will get you to the site.  If someone wants to visit, who cannot make the hike, the hill can be reached by 4WD.

We will monitor 145.115 in order to help people find us.

Hi folks-

I'd like to take this opportunity to publically thank Chris Kelly, K0PF, and
Virgil Leenarts, W0INK,   as well as Ted Black and Rick Huebner (W0RCY) for
a very successful repair the 146.625.  Chris notes below the items that he
and Virgil took care of after the larger team visited the repeater site and
diagnosed the issues.  The repeater is back up and alive.  I'd encourage
lots of people to try it out-- you will be impressed I think with the new
capabilities.  It has less noise and seems to have an increased range (at
least with some minimal testing).

I've personally learned the benefits of using 100% (double shielded) coax
from this repair, as well as the benefits of using a network analyzer to
tune cavities.  We have some real expert in our community, too!

Subject: 146.625 Back on the air


Howdy:
Well, we got it going about 7:30 PM.
Here is a list of what we did for future reference:

1. Replaced one coax jumper (from transmitter to duplexer).
It had a bad connector(loose connection to coax/shield).
It was also simple RG-8 and should have had 100% shield
or double-shielded coax. Replaced with 100% shield coax
(aluminum mylar plus braid). This was probably the major
problem.

2. Tuned the duplexer cavities to optimize operation.
They weren't far off, but we probably gained about 5-10 dB
of isolation. The net result is about 2 dB insertion loss
on both legs (Tx and Rx) and 85+ dB of rejection in each leg.
One side runs about 90 dB, the other about 85.

3. The Transmit frequency was off, 10 kHz high. I think
there was a bad connection in the channel element/crystal
holder (whatever GE called them in those days. I think this
because when I opened up the unit and tried to get a
frequency counter on it, it shifted back to 146.625.

So, I touched up the solder joints on the channel element,
and put some "pro-gold" connector treatment on the pins of the
channel element where it plugs into the main board.
It seemed stable on 146.625, but without a conclusive problem
found I cannot say if this is fixed or not. (Problems that
go away by themselves often come back by themselves.) If the
repeater audio sounds bad some time in the future,
check to see if it's Tx is off frequency.

4. I placed pro-gold (it's an anti-oxidant) on the RF connectors
of the repeater and the duplexer.

5. I put "power-pole" connectors on the power cable
and on the battery side of the power cable, using the
ARES standard configuration for red/black orientation.

6. I set the squelch so that a noisy signal from Fort Collins
could break the squelch, but tight enough to get pretty
snappy squelch closure at the end of transmissions. I think it
is at "notch 5" on the knob.

We also noted these in the repeater logsheets in the repeater.
Thanks again for having this repeater in such a good spot for
coverage up into the Scout camp area!

73,
Chris Kelly, K0PF

Message-ID: <000201c57ad2$79a27d20$0301a8c0@2GPAVILION>

Hi folks-

George Salzmann (AB0SF) who is our NCARC technical committee officer
provided to me an update this weekend on the 145.115 / 447.275 repeaters.
As a reminder, after we moved out of the former 145.115 site, our coverage
along I25 with the 145.115 repeater wasn't as good as we would like to have.
There were several people who weren't able to check into the ARES net, and
there were some other coverage issues from club members who work the
repeater from Longmont/Boulder.

Based on these issues and the greater utilization of 2M, George went ahead a
few weeks ago and had a contractor swap the antenna placements for the
145.115 and the 447.275.  He was able to get this work done for free!  From
George's experiments, the 145.115 coverage appears to be improved into
Denver along I-25.  We still are weak into Cheyenne (we are still searching
for a club repeater location to better cover to the north).  Coverage out
east appears to be ok, and the same along 287 north of Ted's place.

George is planning on installing the new repeaters up on Horsetooth over the
next couple of weeks.  This may affect coverage and performance, also. We
will provide an update via this list when the installation is completed.

A big thanks to George for making this swap, and for leading the charge to
get the repeaters modernized and supportable!

Any signals reports are most welcome.

Subject: [NCARC] 146.625 repeater and possible new repeater installation
	group
Message-ID: <20050627144931.28278.qmail@web20927.mail.yahoo.com>

Hello All,

Just got back from vacation and I went through most of
my emails. In going through everything that has
transpired the last couple weeks, I accidentally
deleted Steve's email that had what was done to the
.625 repeater. Can somene send that to me? I'd
appreciate it.

I know this is a strange request, but the only dumb
question is the one not asked. Does anyone have 2,
8-10 ft. RG-214 jumpers, N-Male to PL-259 (Male)? The
problem you are hearing with the .115 repeater is
likely not interference per say, rather it is "duplex
noise" being generated by poor TX and RX cables and a
duplexer that is in dire need of retuning.

And now for the repeater party...

I am looking tentatively (haven't seen what I need to
do for work yet.) at either Saturday morning, July 2,
or Monday morning, July 4, to get these new repeaters
up on the hill. I need about three others to help, and
preferably at least one person with a 4x4 that has the
ability to bring the volunteers up the hill. If you're
able to help out, please give me a call any time at
(303) 961-0841.

Also, I have the VHF and UHF repeaters mounted in a
"new" rack in my basement. All that is needed now is
to have a base made to hold the VHF duplexer, brackets
to hold the repeaters, make a ground buss for the
rack, figure out what is needed to wire up the 7K's to
the respective repeaters, and to make the
repeater/controller cables. 

If anyone has a collection of metal DB-9 and DB-25
hoods and is willing to part with a couple of each,
that would be a tremendous help, too.

George, AB0SF

Free stuff:

I have a perfectly good Apple laserprinter that OJ gave
me awhile ago.  It has postscript on it, so you can use
it with a MS system or a Linux system as well as with an 
Apple.  300dpi, regular parallel port, not many pages
through it so the toner will probably outlast us all.

Also, I have a wide carriage dot matrix printer
and a color panasonic 80 column dot matrix, and an
old Epson FT-80 (which I bought with my Kaypro-4
CP/M machine circa 1986)   A veritable bonanza
of stepper motors for someone out there.  (or you
could actually use them as printers!)  I also
have a nearly-full box of microperfed fanfeed paper.

I have some old soundcards and other junk if anybody
is looking for such.

I also have some toner cartridges for unknown Sharp
fax machines.  Maybe someone would like to open one
up and see what kind of mess they can make with magnetic
toner?  Build your own etch-a-sketch?

I can deliver to Loveland or Ft Collins, or you can come
to Estes and get something FREE for a change.

Cheap Canon color inkjet circa 2003(?) -- doesn't work.
HP Deskjet 550C (first color inkjet ever, I think) -- still works.
go figure.

Either or both, please take!

It's even on casters, so we can wheel it into your
waiting arms.  Tubes, sockets, transformers and
miles of wire... who wouldn't want that?

Well Chris, the HP Deskjet was invented and designed by Hewlett Packard
engineers from the USA (now obsolete).
All the new techno stuff is now designed by Wall Street MBAs with degrees in
Medieval History, software and firmware written in India, hardware
manufactured in China, assembly in Mexico, and support call centers in South
America. Go figure!
