  1. After some delays and problems deploying Repeater #2 (Papagayo 2), the new unit is stable and operating well. I have 3rd repeater in hand and just scouting now for an optimal location to put it up. Repeater #3 (Papagayo 1) is on Channel 26 (aka 467.625). I have everything to complete the install except location, so as soon as I can get that, we will have three in the valley (plus the one in Willow). Things are looking up. We still need to have some sort of get-together. I have been hanging out with the GERRN group up till now, and it is past time to make additional contacts.
  2. 2nd repeater is up. Operating on 462.650 near Valley Hospital off Trunk Road. Coverage favors SW to ENE, but there is usable coverage in many points to the west and north. Unfortunately the crest at Lowes in Wasilla around to Bogard and along the northwest side of KGB does shadow the repeater some. The next repeater ought to cover that easy enough, but for now it is a little spotty.
  3. Hey all. I am in the process of adding repeaters in the valley area. So far we have one up in Palmer. It's not got the coverage I was expecting yet, but when the weather improves we will be fixing it up some. It's on Ch 29, 467.7000 and tone is 141.3. I will be putting up two more repeaters, one in mid valley and one on the west end, later this year as the weather and access conditions improve. Please be respectful of its use as there is already one user group (Golden Eagle) in Palmer that is accessing that repeater. If you plan to access it, just drop me a request and I am good with it. Much appreciated. I am a commercially licensed radio tech and had my own business a long time ago. Now I have a very different career so this is just a thing. I am not a Ham and have no need to get that license, just a guy with a lot of knowledge and experience who didn't want it to go to waste anymore. As I get geared back up, I will get more into this stuff. The repeaters are refurbed Motorola GR 1225s.
