It has been a problem every year since I started attending Dayton, which was 1987. The more attention you give it, the more it happens. Every few years there is an announcement that the jammer has been caught. Then the next year it starts all over again. -- Original Message -- Received: Fri, 02 May 2008 06:35:12 PM PDT From: MCH [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] FW: Dayton and Parts you might need That was a problem in the mid-80s on 147.135 out there.

Group, To help I am going to take some commercial HT's on UHF to talk through the repeater, I hope the added quality front ends will help with the problem.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] FW: Dayton and Parts you might need....
Cut four or five element Yagis or quagies for the third and fifth harmonics of the frequency in question. They will be quite small, and as the signal will be many dB down from the main carrier, you can t-hunt them with an HT or scanner with no special shielding requirements. And you won't need an attenuator. And the beamwidth will be quite tight - to the room from the street. 73 de KN6TD At 09:35 PM 5/2/2008 -0400, you wrote: That was a problem in the mid-80s on 147.135 out there.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] FW: Dayton and Parts you might need....
Use a dual band handheld and tune it to the 3rd harmonic. If the repeater listens to 147.735 that means that you would listen to 443.205 (which is easy to do, just use a handheld that can do 5khz steps on UHF). Anyway that will get you to the proper floor and within 3-4 hotel rooms (the 3rd harmonic of most handhelds is pretty weak). Then once you have the floor and a range of rooms you call someone on a simplex channel who is standing near a house phone is the same hotel, and you dial each room's phone one by one while the jerk is keyed down. When you hear the phone bell in the background you know what room he's in. You then send the local equivalent of the Seven Six Secret Service to knock on his door (white sheets and hoods optional).

By the time all the hoops are jumped through, the event is over and the person is likely hundreds or thousands of miles away if they are not a local. Face it - they may not even be licensed or attend the Hamvention. Yeah, but Riley usually makes a visit, so he's not far away if you need him. :-) Nate WY0X

One of the largest repeater systems in the US is just down the road on 145.190. However, will be more than busy during Dayton.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] FW: Dayton and Parts you might need....
Well, Paul, I still don't have my tickets yet, either. although I paid for them a month ago. Been hearing more and more horror stories about how the Hamvention is being run. Also - what will be your repeater split? I don't think I understood your statement below. If a conventional 5MHz split is used, will your input be 449.850? Or were you trying to say you'll be on a 12.5 kHz splinter freq somewhere near that center freq? For others reading this list/thread, I am putting together an Excel spreadsheet of freqs that wil most likely be used at Dayton, so I can program them into my radios.

OK, thanks Paul!

I am going to move it either up or down 12.5 KHz so I don't interfere with any repeaters in the area on the normal spilt. Lets say right now it's going to be on 444.8625 for now.

As I recall they're sold out of a stand adjacent to the arena in the flea market area. Also, what's the secret Repeater-Builder handshake or is the group using any specific simplex freq? Just so I know who I'm meeting when I get there hehehe Simplex is kind of tough in all that RF - sometimes 2 HTs can't hear each other across the ends of the complex. Commercial HTs probably don't have this problem but most attendees don't have them. Fortunately there are many repeaters set up in the flea market that solve this problem. I'll be monitoring my 2 meter portable repeater, which will be in the lot across the street. 147.750 in/144.930 out, PL-123.0. Bob NO6B
