Repeater Use

 

Caprock (W8QD/R) 18                           Alert, Calling, & Routine Traffic -- Traffic to Lea and DeBaca County *

 

Caudill Ranch (KE5MNW)  25               Priority & Emergency Traffic

 

Buck Mtn. (K5RIC)  98                           Traffic to Lincoln Co. ARES/RACES

Megalink (WA5IHL) 26, 14, 375             Traffic to State EOC* and NWSABQ WX5ABQ *

 

Monitor 18 for alerts and/or instructions.  Use 18 for routine traffic.  Pass priority or emergency traffic on 18 only if the 25 is not usable. 

Use the Caudill 25 to pass priority or emergency traffic. *

 

-------------------------------------------

 

* Liaison with the NM State EOC and NWSABQ is currently via the MegaLink repeater system.  We use the Caprock 18 repeater for liaison with Lea and DeBaca Co.  Roosevelt Co is via the Megalink or HF.

Traffic to the Otero Co mountain area is currently via the 18 repeater, the 98 Lincoln Co repeater or the 975 Eddy Co repeater.  Traffic to the Otero Co plains is via a relay or HF.

The MegaLink system should be reserved for situations where other means of communication are not suitable, since it serves all of New Mexico.

When selective linking capability is available for the Caudill 25 repeater, it will become the primary link to the State EOC, NWSABQ, and Lea-Otero-DeBaca-Roosevelt Co.

HF will be used for voice traffic when a suitable repeater(s) is not available and for digital data transmission when other more suitable means are not available.
