Hi Everyone, just a brief update on some repeaters:

The 447.100 Repeater on Chief Mtn. is currently offline. After power fluctuations, we decided it is best to just protect its transmitter in the event that it is experiencing high VSWR. Please use 449.450 Mestaahehe mountain for Analog Denver coverage until this can be addressed. 

I will be heading to Albuquerque in a few weeks to put up the new Sandia Crest repeater. Its frequency will be 442.150+. Tone will be 123.0 to go along with the New Mexico convention, with the nearby Socorro repeater at 442.125+123.0

The new Trinidad repeater (449.05)  may or may not happen during this time period as well, i'm trying to coordinate schedules for visiting the Bowen Hill site on my way down to NM to put that rptr in

Our next big project will be the HOYT tower, about 1/2 way between Strasburg and Fort Morgan, this is the tallest structure in Colorado at 2,000 feet AGL. We will be going 300 feet up this tower, and it will be on 449.15. The 449.125 Strasburg repeater is moving up 25KHz to 449.15  due to co-channels in Nebraska. 

We will be running a fundraiser in a bit here for the HOYT project to see if we can get any help, as we will be looking for about 400 feet of feed-line, coax hangers, and antenna mounting hardware to mount to this monstrosity of a tower.
