click picture for close up	51.860 Repeater
	This repeater is operational and works as a split site repeater. The Receiver and remote link transmitter (uhf linked) are located at the ATC tower site near Mastins Corner (pictured at L) with an antenna at 275 ft while the transmitter is at Spotsylvania Courthouse (8mi SW of Fredericksburg, Va).   The transmitter is located on a 130 foot water tower (located 10 miles apart). It is a split site system with a link between the transmitter site and the receiver site. The transmit antenna just went up on this new site 1-11-02 and it has great coverage from Richmond to Northern Virginia to Maryland. 51.86 (output) 51.36 (input) no PL Tone
Here is the new water tank with the 6 meter ground plane antenna. The new transmitter coverage is much improved and stations have reported great signals in Richmond, N Virginia, and Maryland.
	To the Left is W1ZFB working on the 6 meter transmitter and uhf repeater link that connects it to the ATC site where the receiver is located. You can also see the racks for the county 800 mhz radio system.
Here is a picture of the Micor 6m transmitter on top, back-up transmitter below that, the uhf receiver below that. Then the controller and power supply on the bottom. This radio is also hard wired to the county EOC (emerg operations center) which is across the street which gives us great 6 meter coverage around the state.
