[Repeater-Builder] Re: Induced RF on tower - May cause desense, too?

2005-08-23 Thread Frank R. Vondra
We experienced a similar situation with an VHF repeater 
two years ago. The culprit was traced down to rusty bolts
on the Rohn 25 tower. Tapping on the tower legs with a
large hammer would make the problem go away for a short
period of time, but it would return in a few weeks or days. 

Finding and replacing the bolts cured the problem.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Illegal uhf repeater

2005-08-21 Thread Frank R. Vondra
Before you put a uhf repeater on the air, you need to 
be assigned a frequency by the Mid-America Coordination
Council (MACC). The Nebraska coordinator is John Gebuhr
WB0CMC and he may be contacted at the address listed in
www.qrz.com 

He will mail you the required forms and upon successful
completion of the coordination process you will be 
assigned a repeater pair.

If you have reason to believe that a repeater is being
operated contrary to Part 97 (ie; no control operator)
you may report this information to John. In addition to
being the Nebraska coordinator, he is also an 'OO' and
will investigate your allegation.

we intended to go on. the repeater has been abandonded as the 
repeater owner moved away several years ago. i am guessing that we 
just df the transmitter and take it down. attempts to find the 
repeater owner are useless as he left the state years ago. we heard 
that the owner who abandoned it is now on the west coast, there are a 
few rumors that he is in the military out of country. advice is 
appreciated here since the fcc is so useless.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: CSC CWID manual needed

2005-07-31 Thread Frank R. Vondra
Hi Jerry,
I believe it is a CWID-51B. We have the ID chip programmed,
but are having a problem figuring out the terminal strip
assignments on the back. If we can get that information, it
will help out greatly, but if we need to repair the unit later,
the service manual will be of great importance. Thanks much !!

[Repeater-Builder] Re: OT: NC man charged with 'driving a cop car' due to ham antennas

2005-07-17 Thread Frank R. Vondra
As an amateur radio operator and 30 year law enforcement
veteran, I agree with you Lance. After blowing up the
photo of the 1995 Caprice displayed on the jars webpage,
I'm somewhat curious to know why the defendant has an
MPH K-55 mobile radar unit mounted on the dash? I'm sure
it's not for chasing DX on 10,525 mHz. Seems to me that
the police and prosecutor are probably on the same page
with this case and the arrestee is trying to play the
ham card as a defense.

All too true, but being both a ham , and being in Law Enforcement, I 
cannot see an officer just giving a ticket for what he perceived as

Perception is not a basis for a violation, it would seem that there 
may be parts of the occurrence missing from the story.

I'm curious to know if anyone is using a B93 Micor station on two-
meters and what if any modifications are required to make it operate?
