Good evening everyone,

Yesterday, Randy, K0RLV, came down and climbed the tower and installed the repeater antenna for the 927.0125 machine.

Today, I got a chance to do some drive testing and worked it from Wheatland, Bolivar, Republic, Clever, Cape Fair, Crane and from just north of Cassville on Hwy 248.  I can work it on my 2.5 watt HT from inside my house between Republic and Billings.

This is a new frequency compared to the last time it was operational.  It used to be on 927.5375.

The repeater call is K0NXA and it is a high-power 150-Watt Motorola MSF-5000, and we have 124-Watts going out to the antenna.  The receiver has a 2-cavity band pass filter with 21 dB pre-amp.  It seems to be really evenly matched.

Antenna is an Andrew DB809KE-SY at 225' AGL; ground elevation is 1389' AMSL with a total AMSL of 1614'.

While programming, you might put in the 927.1125 repeater, PL 162.2 Hz.  This is my Nucleus - call will be KB0NHX.  I am looking for a home for it still.

Please pass this info on to other hams that may be interested in trying a new band or checking out something different.

73,

James Adkins, KB0NHX
