I am in need of Net Controllers for 2021

?

Steve WA5FRF, Bob N2MOO, and Jeff K0BRN have contributed and helped run nets in the past.? I need to get a schedule of net controllers for Jan ¨C March.? If you have experience running a net on a large network, I would strongly encourage you to contact me so we can get you trained including using net logger.

?

BLANCO REPEATER

?

Our Blanco repeater is up and running at 13 watts and covers from N. Bexar county along the US 281 Corridor to Johnson City.? It covers out East on 290 sporadically to Dripping Springs and covers all of Canyon Lake with a good mobile radio.? I am looking really hard for the best duplexers with 100Db of rejection so that we can get this repeater up to 50 watts.? Please check this machine out while traveling in Comal, Blanco, Guadalupe, Hays, and Kendall counties.? This machine also covers out I 10 West of Boerne pretty well and Route 46 to Boerne.? I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished and I can¡¯t thank you all enough for your Gift of Money to help us maintain the repeaters.? We have so many items to manage (Not all inclusive) electricity, insurance, cables, duplexers, powers supplies, surge protectors, generators, Link Radios to transmit to the site, computers, internet, YSF Reflectors, FCS Reflectors, Wires X etc.¡­¡­ Your contribution goes a long way to help us maintain the network while we continue to purchase repeaters and assemble plans to grow the network.

?

ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS

?

We have Three (3) repeaters that can be relocated and we need your input and help to find sites.? 147.160 can be relocated somewhere perhaps in SW San Antonio and we have Two (2) other repeaters that can be put up.? I personally would like to see a machine on the I 35 corridor in San Marcos area as that¡¯s were we start dropping off on our 146.780.? Our 443.200 machine received better and will cover to Buda!? John W5NZK again has the 441.8125 in the shadow of our current repeaters.? He has great equipment and this can be moved if he can have 100% access to the site.

?

SADRC NETS

?

I will check in tomorrow night but do not plan on restarting our nets officially until the 1st week in January as everyone is so busy.?

?

K5UUT

?

Louis is still working on a site but has come into good fortune on a set of duplexers so he should have this machine back on the air by the end of the year or early January.? The repeater is located in Pflugerville just north of Austin.

?

INDEPENDENT ?REPEATER OWNERS

?

If you know of an independent repeater owner who would like to be considered to tie into us full time, please have them contact myself, John W5NZK, Skip KD4NCB, or Hans K5HUB.

?

We wish you a Very Merry Christmas and hope to catch you on the air over the holidays!
