Norm W4QN informed me this week that the UHF Repeater of KA4EPS in
Margate is functioning, with links making it possible to communicate
with SFDXA Members to the North(and more). I spoke to Norm this
afternoon as he was mobile in Jupiter. Repeater is only running 1 Watt
at the moment but when the PA is fully functioning, it will run about
100 watts.
Note from Norm:
"I think we may have a networked UHF link established that you and other
members of SFDXA can access. The UHF repeater is in Margate and I think
covers all of Broward Co. With the matrix up and down the State -
This is an UHF system and if you have that capability try the Margate
site, as I don't think the Deerfield Beach is operational yet.
frequency is 444.025 +and PL code 107.2. Our repeater in Jupiter is
connected to this network - I am hearing stations from down your way and
up to NJ. If you have UHF, give it a try - KA4EPS is the guy who set
this up using ATT cell towers"
Signal isn't real strong as of right, now but usable. After 20 years of
trying to set up a Link, we can now talk to Norm W4QN, Mikum W4UM and
others. Hooray!
