OK TALARC 240
We are KI5TON American Legion Amateur Radio Club. Headquarters is at Salina, Oklahoma.
Our repeater will be on 145.130. C4FM. Currently being installed on Yonkers Mt Wagoner county. 80 watts. Ground elevation 1075. Antenna will sit on top of the Wagoner County 911 tower.
We want to express our deep gratitude for our repeater antenna to Associated Radio!
We express our gratitude to Wagoner County Commissioners, 911 and Emergency Management for this installation.
In conjunction with the Mayes County Amateur Radio Club our weekly VHF net is currently on 147.060 + with an 88.5 pl tone. Our net starts at 7:30 pm local time each Monday night. The exceptions are the 3rd Monday of the month for our Post meeting and when lightning is in the area.
The KI5TON repeater will soon be on the air. Our repeater will enhance communication with an 75 mile radius. This being said, it will allow hams in low elevation to be able to access emergency communication.
We want to thank the Wagoner County 911 service, the commissioners and all County staff that worked hard on this project.
The location will be in the North East corner of Wagoner County, Yonkers Mountain.
A 3db gain antenna at 300' above the ground elevation of 1150' above sea level. This will be fed by a Yeasu DR-2X repeater at 5 watts into a Henry Amp at 65 watt. Estimated ERP will be about 125 watts.
It is a C4FM (Fusion) repeater. Will will be in AMS mode for analog signals. The repeater will be opened to all licensed operators. At times we will open it to the internet and switch on our room for world wide communication. Stay tuned.
As Manual says, " if you can't be handsome, be radioactive".
