This site gives a quick tour and overview of some of my Ham
Radio related projects, the KC7RJK/R repeater, IRLP 3543, echolink 550487, KC7RJK-* weather stations
and much more. I hope you enjoy my site. This is my first attempt at a site
like this so feel free to contact me with any suggestions.
I started assembling the new tower in
Jan 2009 and was acquiring parts much before that! The tower is still
not yet done (it never will be) waiting to install torque arms to reduce torsion
loading before adding any HF yagi's.
I have a station here in
Eugene
OR and in Deadwood OR.
Both are Davis Instruments models and both upload to NOAA MADIS NWS and the
WWW.
The repeater is a MastrII
station producing 80 watts out of the
cavity filters. It's equipped with an echoIRLP node, phone patch, emergency
warning alerts, current forecasts, weather, and much more. Other cool stuff,
APT WeatherFax, APRS I-Gate, APRS Digi, streaming audio feeds for NOAA
weather radio Florence and Eugene, also streaming EMS fire and Union Pacific
railroad, local
WiFi hotspot, IC746 remote base (can use with droid!)...

RX cavities for UHF and VHF receivers. And ARR2 VHF preamp.
