When I realized they probably weren't going to open the road to the top, I decided to do a little hiking up a small rock outcropping. By the time I made it to that summit I must have looked like the bad guy in Total Recall after being blown out into the Martian non- atmosphere. Bob NO6B Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] highest repeater?
I would assume that any winter time servicing of radio equipment/antennas requires a helicopter for transport, and some big shovels to dig down to a building entrance door. Great picture!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Highest repeater
Hello John, Thanks, I am convinsed that the highest repeater is the Pikes Peak repeater. Thanks to all who helped me answer this strange question. 73 Doug kb3ham Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Highest repeater
I have had my 2 mtr, 147.180 repeater at the same site location here in Utah at 11,000 Ft since 1974. Does this longitivity and elevation qualify?

They were just finishing off grading the last mile when I ran out of time & had to head back home (this was a stop on the way back from Dayton '03). I didn't find anything up there in any of the local or ARRL repeater guides, or via scanning the band so I assumed the PPRA had no repeaters up there. Otherwise I would have tried accessing them during my approach from Kansas. Maybe I'll make it to the top next year. I wish Dayton was a couple of weeks later so there would be a little more time for the snow to melt. Bob NO6B Yahoo!

It is loaded with a number of antennas, including at least one small microwave dish. Never been in there myself, but went "eyeball hunting" for it, as I knew the 146.97 is up there. This was last summer when my wife (Karen KC0KTI) and I had VK2YX and family up there, depriving them of oxygen while we shared some of the famous homemade donuts and coffee at the visitor's center.. We just happened to hit one of those gorgeous days where (even though the wind was blowing about 30 kts continuous) the sky was clear blue. Pete's comment was, "I can see the curvature of the Earth from up here, mate!" Yes indeed! I think that was the first time I'd noticed that too. We did our best to create some co-channel interference (heh... worked repeaters 100 miles away with HT's) and a little simplex goofing off -- then came down after a lovely day. They slept all the way down... How come all my friends from out of town pass out when I take them to tower sites around here? ;-) ;-) ;-) Nate WY0X Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] highest repeater?
Rob et al, I just got off the air with one of the clubs officers from PPRA and their repeaters are indeed inside the summit shack of Pikes Peak. Actual elevation of the base of the antenna is estimated to be 14,120'. For what its worth Randy, W0AVV Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] highest repeater?
I believe the highest in Colorado (off the top of my head) would be the Pikes Peak machines. 146.970, and 448.450 at 14,109 feet above mean sea level.

I'm sorry this doesn't answer your question, but I bet it helps others understand what the question is. :-) Of course, an OSCAR unit would be the highest repeater, but that's not just limited to the USA.
