Part of the
BeachNet
system, this repeater serves those traveling on Highway 101 north of Hoquiam
and adjacent areas along the coast of Grays Harbor County.
During an emergency, this repeater will probably be disconnected
from the network to allow
communications within Grays Harbor County. This repeater is directly
accessible from the Grays Harbor EOC in Montesano.
Hardware: The repeater consists of a GE Mastr-II 110-watt continuous duty
base station (running 80-watts)
with a CAT-200B controller. The duplexer is a Sinclair BpBr 4-cavity
type feeding a
dual band antenna through 30 feet of LMR-400
half-inch coax. There is a UHF GE Phoenix mobile used as a link transceiver
and a packet station. The packet station and
repeater share the vertical antenna, while the UHF link uses a yagi. The packet
station includes a bandpass cavity, the link a DCI-filter.
Packet Radio: The "NEILTN" packet
radio node is located on
this site. This is part of the 145.630 MHz
1200-Baud Washington District Three
EOC Packet Network. The packet station is owned
by N7UJK as part of the Grays Harbor Auxiliary
Emergency Communications system.
