Repeaters & Skycam
Repeater Skycam Slow Scan TV Repeater
KC5OYN ATV-repeater. We have mounted an ATV repeater atop the Hillcrest Medical Tower, one of
the highest points in McLennan County. The repeater listens on an input frequency of 910.25 MHz and retransmits on an output of 421.25 MHz (Cable channel 57). The repeater enables ATV communications from almost anywhere within McLennan County, and in some
places beyond. The repeater is currently operational and open to any amateur use.
Sky Cam
The WATS Skycam is a color video camera mounted atop the Waco Hilton Hotel across the street
from the Waco Suspension Bridge and Indian Springs Park. Using 2-meter FM radio signals,
members can activate the camera and transmitter to control a pan-tilt head and point the camera
in almost any direction. The video signal is beamed to the KC5OYN ATV-repeater. The Skycam is currently operational and open to all WATS members.
Here's some pictures of the Skycam being installed. Click on the picture to enlarge it.
