KB3AWQ 6 Meters and 10 Meters FM Repeaters

From June 2020 to present, 444.900 repeater and 29.660 repeater (both 173.8 PL) and 53.050 Repeater PL 131.8 is connected to Allstarlink which are internet linked full-time.  147.300 is RF linked in to 444.900 which is also part of the Echolink and Allstar mix.  

To listen to the live audio stream with a brief delay, click here.   If you are on Allstarlink, use node 513960 to connect to the system.  The 6 and 10 meter transmitters are located at another tower site (3 air miles east of the 440, 10m and 6m receivers) on Armstrong Road just east of Route 15 and overlooks Montoursville. All four frequencies are linked together, so you may hear someone on 2 meters coming out on 10 meters FM, for instance.  Echolink node number 277377 (KB3AWQ-R)   is also part of the mix as well, so if you are out of range of the repeaters, you can connect to Echolink or Allstarlink.  Also, if you have the TGIF DMR network, you can connect in from on there using talk group 29660 which I have set up as an analog DMR bridge through Allstarlink.

The low band radio used for 6 meters is a modded Kenwood TK-6110-2 (FM only) and for 10 meters it is also a Kenwood TK-6110-1 (FM only).  

The 6110 radios are now feeding amplifiers as of June 2025.  

6 meters transmitter is driving a Mastr II PA with 20 watts in and 125 watts out from the top of a 180 ft tower at 1885 feet ground elevation using LMR-400 and a DB-212 folded dipole that is on the north side of the tower.

6 meters receiver - 3 air miles west of the TX using a Ringo Ranger AR6 at 50 ft on the southeast leg about 3 ft from the tower.  Hoping to use the trimmed down Sirio SD-27 at 50 ft on the Northeast side of the tower once the connector gets fixed on the tower.

7/26/25–10 meters is driving a Milcom International amp with 30 watts in and 140 watts out. Antenna  is at 150 ft on the NNE side, at 1895 ft ground elevation. Using 7/8 inch hardline and a trimmed down.  Antenna is a Sirio SD27 regular vertical dipole, 4 feet from the tower.

10 meters receiver - 3 air miles west of the TX using a DB-212 folded dipole facing north at about 30 ft on a windmill tower.  Hoping to use the Sirio SD-27 at 50 ft on the North side of the tower once the connector gets fixed on the tower.

Filters: The 10-meter receiver, has an ICE 411 band pass filter. The 6-meter receiver has a ICE-432 band pass filter.

I'd be interested in any signal reports, and you can email signals @ KB3AWQ.com with signal report as the subject or any other questions or comments.  You can also visit RepeaterBook for more information and to add a propagation report on the map.
