[NCARC] NCARC Repeater maps

[Tom Jungmeyer]

I forwarded this email and sent it out on the reflector for Bret and put 
the files on my server.  These are assuming you are using a high power 
mobile (50 watts on 2 meter, 35 watts on 440 and 25 watts on 220). More 
information  below.

    Hello Gang,

         Per a recommendation from K1TJ I have generated coverage plots
    for the NCARC repeaters.   I used the GPS coordinates from the club
    site as well as site install information from Toms memory.   These
    may not be 100% accurate but they should be very darn close.   I've
    noticed some weirdness on the Horsetooth sites down along the I-25
    into Denver area.  I know from experience I can keep the 275 machine
    up (if pretty scratchy) to about 120^th and I-25.   It may well be
    an accurate portrayal however as I built the sites independently of
    each other using the information I mentioned above.    If anyone has
    any real world experience that requires I adjust a plot just shoot
    me an email back and I'll get it adjusted.

          I'm not sure what the rules on content and all that are, but
    consider this a verbal agreement to put these (and any further
    revisions I make) on the website.  Print them out for the hamfest. 
    Print them out for target practice.  I don't mind J

          If the club looks at future sites I would be happy to run
    plots for those as well.  Or if you know of other clubs that want
    something similar to this I can try to get to them as time permits. 
    I will require the following information.

         GPS coordinates

         Frequencies

         Repeater output power

         Any information available on a duplexer, receive filters,
    diplexers, triplexers, rx amplifiers etc.  I can fudge this a
    little, but it helps if you have it.

         Length (total!) and type of feedline used

         Any information you have on the antenna

         Height of the antenna on the tower

          I look forward to seeing everyone at the swapfest.  I've been
    able to inform a handful of people that hadn't heard yet but are
    definitely showing up now!
