Repeater map for Montana
There are several repeaters around the Yellowstone Valley.
The wide area repeater and main contact repeater is the
147.36 which is located on RedLodge mountain. It is a
repeater located with other repeaters for the Highway Patrol,
the Sheriff of Carbon County, and other county repeaters.
The fact that all these repeaters all work together is a testament
to the technicians that do the upkeep for them.
At present time, the 147.36 repeater is operating in a temporary
situation. Spring of 2008 a huge wind playing around with the trees
actually blew a tree over. It had the bad luck to fall upon a guy wire
for the tower, this caused the tower fall which resulted in the repeater
being shut down for a spell. N7VR, K7NJC, WN7Y, KE7GGN all went
\ to the site to review the damage. The result is they raised a temporary
antenna, realigned that which was out of alignment. The Generator was
off line also as the storm damagedit, it needs repaired.
Oct. '08 New tower is installed and old one taken down.
Antennas are not located on the tower as of yet because
of weather.
