145.235

W7VNJ Tower site

The site has been SOLD! and is no longer owned, nor operated by CARC.

What with the recent failure of the controller - and a nice opportunity to recoup some funds. The club has sold the Stuckenhoff site. The .235 repeater will be repaired and placed back in service soon!

The 145.235 repeater (negative offset, 100hz tone), is more of a 'Local coverage' repeater. The repeater can be easily reached using low power transmitters, such as hand helds, from most all of the Casper metro area.

For 'Regional coverage', you may want to use the 146.940 repeater located on Casper Mountain.

The deep cycle, marine type battery should provide several hours of operation in case of loss of commercial power. Currently output power on the transmitter is turned down to about 20 watts. Unfortunatly, the autopatch isn't yet operational - but that's comming! Come to a meeting and hear about the exciting plans we have for connecting an autopatch, serving amateur video, linking (RF and VOIP), weather, telemetry and more.

For those that are interested, this page has maps showing the relative coverage areas for the old Casper Mnt site and the new W7VNJ site.

We have more information on other repeaters in the Casper area.
