NEW REPEATER COVERAGE MAPS AND UPDATED WEBSITE:
NEW REPEATER COVERAGE MAPS AND UPDATED WEBSITE:
Thanks to Matt KC7GSA for producing several great new coverage maps for each ATN repeater and a new system map. The maps give signal strength into a receive dipole antenna at 3 meters above ground from the ATV repeater based on the individual repeater technical parameters.

Brett WA6SXU has worked on a video server specifically set up for linking to ATN chapters to far for analog microwave linking. The picture quality is great with up to 30 frames per second and good resolution. The quality is only limited to the size of the internet pipe. Brett is working on signaling to allow the repeater to be keyed up at the far end and visa versa. The server can handle up to 10 circuits at a time.

It is with great regret that the Usery ATN repeater was taken down. The site rent was very expensive and the trustee decided not to renew the site lease. Brian and others had work hard to keep the repeater running well over the three years it was at that site.

Some of the planned projects for White Tank have been completed. Ward purchased a better 2.4 GHz preamp and Mike WA6SVT and Harold K7AED installed it into the equipment box at the top of the tower next to the 2.4 GHz antenna. Ward provided a test signal.

We also changed out the receiver. The combined result is snow free 2441.5 MHz pictures from 25 miles away running 800 mw into a Conifer 24 dBi dish. Most of the east valley members should be able to access White Tank on 2.4 GHz with 5 watts and a 24 dBi dish mounted above the buildings and trees.

The voice repeater’s controller was checked for proper de-emphases jumpers and we took out the jumper to provide crisper audio. A 100-watt amplifier is built and Harold is working on mounting it to a large heat sink before it is installed to provide a 7 dB increase in the output of the voice repeater.

Some planned projects for Mt. Lemmon has been completed. Harold K7AED is the new trustee. Ward WB7VVD donated an 8 bay 16 dipole 434 antenna to replace the old 4 bay antenna. He also donated an outside tower mounted equipment box. Mike WA6SVT donated a 434MHz band pass filter. Mike assembled the filter and preamp into the box. Harold K7AED, Ward WB7VVD and Mike WA6SVT installed the box and antenna on the tower and changed out the temporary equipment rack with a newer and taller rack with locking doors. We ran out of time to run coverage testing.

On a later weekend Harold K7AED changed the 434 MHz receiver and added a new ID disk to the Amiga computer and added a UPS unit to keep continuous power to the computer and controller during power interruptions. Coverage tests were done with about a 1 to 2 "P" unit improvement in received on the repeater’s 434 MHz receiver.

Near future plans include a link between White Tank Mt. and Mt. Lemmon and to add a 440 MHz voice repeater at Mt. Lemmon donated by Mike WA6SVT. He picked it cheap at the Ft. Tuthill Hamfest near Flagstaff last summer. Mark your calendar for next year’s Ft. Tuthill hamfest on July 25-27, 2003.

The ATV repeater has been working well. Mike WA6SVT has been repackaging the 2.4 link receivers and main 2.4 input receiver into dicast boxes with identical layouts and setup to mount onto a single 5 ¼" high rack plate, Brian WB7UBB donated the frequency chips for the Wavecom 2.4 GHz receivers.

Mike added a receiver voter to the 1286.15 MHz control and voice repeater. Each of the California ATN repeaters except Santa Barbara has a 1274.15 MHz (our voice repeater input) receiver that is used for control of each ATV repeater, now that the link system was upgraded to a Wavecom unit with two audio channels he added the raw audio from each site via the unused audio channel. The raw audio is passed into a CTCSS (PL) tone decoder for signaling and then is de-emphasized and fed into the voter. The voter selects the site that has the best signal to noise/interference ratio. Oat, Santiago, Blueridge and San Gorgonio are the voted sites.

This site is in transition of moving next door to another building. Abel N6ENL of the SCRN 440 MHz repeater group purchased a building that was in disrepair. Several of the ATN members, WA6SVT, KD6OMV, K6IOJ, W6MAF, WA6SXU, KA6DPS (I hope I remembered all who helped) and members from SCRN stripped the building to its core and sealed the block walls, roof and painted, replaced the ceiling and resurfaced the floor. The tower was cleaned up and the center antenna mast replace with a larger more heavy duty one.

This spring after the snow melts we plane to move next door. The new site gives ATN a much better link antenna location that is fully clear of the trees and the site has 8-foot open bay racks that will relieve the small equipment box we are in now. The tower has a 10 ft radome covered dish already aimed at Mt. Potosi, We just need to transfer the feed horn.

Doug replaced the repeater driver amplifier that had failed with a newer amplifier donated by Mike WA6SVT. ATN is in final planning for a link between Blueridge and Mt. Wilson. The link should be installed after the Blueridge move. A large dish is already installed on the new site at Blueridge and aimed at Mt. Wilson. As weather permits this winter or spring the 434 and 1241 antennas will moved off the front tower bracing and onto the tower leg in preparation of the major tower work so the TV station can add DTV antenna. The building will undergo major remodeling for DTV and the repeater most likely will need to be stored away while construction takes place. Mike has a new 1241 MHz antenna for the repeater and most of the mounting brackets.

Some major internal changes have taken place with our affiliated group. Bill KB6MCU is no longer connected to the repeater and the link was turned off. I have sent a letter to the Palomar club to address the repeater and have received a response that the Palomar ARC is interested in getting the ATV repeater back up. Art KC6UQH and I have offered to help. The ATV repeater issues will be discussed mid January at the Palomar ARC board meeting.

Henry AA9XW has secured a new location for the old Chicago repeater that used to reside in the Sears Tower downtown. The new location is about a mile south of his new QTH at PBS channel 51 in Northwest Indiana were Henry is the Chief Engineer. The TV station has a 1,000 tower and has a communications antenna bays at 500 and 550 ft. Henry had 1 5/8" heliax ran installed to each location, one for the receive antenna (550 ft) and the other one for the transmit antenna. Andrew Corporation built him a commercial 11.5dBd slot antenna for 70cm.

Mike WA6SVT tuned up a CATV modulator for 421.25 MHz, the repeater output frequency and sent it to Henry. Henry is currently repackaging the repeater and hopes to have it on the air soon. Future plans are to add a 1.2 or 2.4 GHz alternate input later this summer and a link or two to other ATV repeaters. Northwest Indiana-Chicago Illinois is the newest area joining the ATN Team.

Last summer Geoff KB7BY and Mike WA6SVT made a trip to the mountain to make repairs to the 2.4 GHz receiver and main transmitter. Mike had repackaged the receiver and changed the frequency to 2441.5 MHz then brought up the receiver to Mt. Potosi. Geoff and Mike removed the down converter from the tower mounted box and left in the filter and preamp after retuning it to 2441.5 MHz.

I was just informed the power is back on and the power company just finished the project. Ken KC7DEN is now getting the group back together and is planning to organize a group trip to the ATN-CA & NV winter meeting, contact Ken at kc7den@lvcm.com to RSVP for the trip.

ATN has a working repeater installed on Ben’s Bluff 11 miles west of Estancia, NM. Earl N8TV, Darlene KD7HPN and Mike WA6SVT installed the repeater last summer. This fall Mike donated a bigger better 1253 MHz transmit antenna. Coverage is to the communities east of the mountains near Albuquerque. Plans in the near future are to locate a suitable site on Capilla Peak to cover both sides of the mountains including Albuquerque.
