| On an output frequency of 147.015, the station is
located on the water tower on Peral Way, which is ground elevation 1272
ft., the highest point in the Village. It employs a Maggiore
Electronics transmitter and receiver and a
CAT-300DXL controller. The input power is approximately 35
watts. The antenna is a Decibel Products DB224 located on
top of the tower and a duplexer allows use of the same antenna for
transmit and receive. Phone autopatch capability is included as well
as generator backup for operation during electrical power
outages. The setup was designed by club members Harold Switzer, W9YCE, and Paul Maund, K5LTS, aided by other
club members during installation. It is currently maintained by
Frank Fahrlander, N7FF. |
