For many years, Doug ran the K6KMN ATV repeater on Mt. Wilson in the Los Angeles area. This repeater is located in the broadcast TV transmitter building where Doug worked. In the middle of 2004, Doug retired, and the repeater was sold to the Amateur Television Network. At that time, the callsign was changed to W6ATN.
Here is some information on the repeater.

Inputs:	434 MHz AM video with 4.5 MHz audio subcarrier
	146.430 MHz FM (while the repeater is up) - not currently working.
Output:	1241.25 MHz upper vestigal sideband with 4.5 MHz audio subcarrier

Every Monday evening at 1930 Pacific time, there is a general checkin net. All amateurs are welcome to checkin to the net. Although the 2M FM input is not operating, most of the stations that check into the net do monitor 146.430 MHz during the net, and you will likely be heard. If you are heard by any of the net participants, your checkin will be noted. If you have a beam on 2M, try pointing towards the city of Glendora. The net control station is Jim Walls - K6CCC.

The Amateur Television Network (ATN) operates a large network of ATV repeaters in southern California, Arizona, and southern Nevada. Recently the Mt. Wilson ATV repeater has become an ATN repeater. Here is a description of the K6KMN ATV repeater from the ATN web site.

During space shuttle missions, NASA-TV is transmitted via the repeater. Anyone with ATV receive capability can watch NASA-TV via this repeater.

Recently, Frank - KG6JVE has started streaming audio and video from the Mt. Wilson ATV repeater onto the internet. At this time, Frank is only streaming the repeater during space shuttle missions. Click to reach Frank's web site.
