MRA 145.43 Repeater move complete Dec 28 2016

Post date: Jan 02, 2017 7:23:2 PM

KG4MRA repeater was moved to the new location on Wednesday 12/28/2016, and is fully operational. The impulse noise on the repeater input frequency is "gone gone". The new location in central Richmond, has moved the "center of coverage" ~13 miles ENE.

We are collecting signal reports from all stations. Early results are good, very good. Given the impulse noise is gone forever, things have improved significantly.

The new antenna is ~730 feet AGL, and the station ERP (Effective Radiated Power) is 100 watts.

We encourage the entire Amateur community to use the repeater, frequently, and please consider joining the MRA for $15/year.
