Dear Reader:

This is my site and reflects my opinion. It is intended to offer ideas, examples and suggestions. It is not saying that I am right and you are wrong. This is a big world and EMCOMM is at least a little different in every locale. I am trying to discuss issues and uncover best practices. If you do things differently or have questions or comments, please share and help educate us all.

N5FDL/R Ripon

This repeater is temporarily off-the-air awaiting new feedline and antenna.

We have just installed a new low-level, low-power repeater on the tower at Ripon Fire Headuqarters downtown.

The antenna is a 5/8-wave at approximately 80 feet. Power out the duplexer is approximately 25 watts. The repeater is being replaced with a Motorola commercial model and power output may increase.

Output: 147.015 114.8

Input: 147.615 114.8

Open to all amateurs!
