KJ6ZD News Page

Here you'll find some short articles about Echo-Link, SVXLINK and more.

Note:

The KJ6ZD and SVXLINK website was down on Aug. 23 2011 for scheduled Maintenance of the Electric Main. The Power Company did shut off the Power for approximately 8 Hours. KJ6ZD's computer battery backup(s) aren't designed to run for prolonged periods of time.

This was a good test for the Repeater emergency power backup which worked as expected. The repeater was operating for the entire duration of the power outage and still had sufficient energy left to run for another estimated 30 Hours.

KJ6ZD/R is finally coordinated.

After a long wait we finally get coordinated. Although, at this time it is primarily a test run to find out about any interferences that could be present, I feel confident that this is the Home of KJ6ZD/R.

The coordinated frequency will be:

445.560 MHz output

440.560 MHz input.

The PL Tone will be the same at 146.2 Hz.

We'll see you there.

In memory to our Mother (age 81)

After years of suffering she was finally relieved of her pains.

We will miss her!
