3 OCRA MHz gets a faceli By Adriano (KV7D) In early May Rob Noel contacted me to tell me that he was unable to show IRLP to a prospec ve ham in the Efland area. I knew that had a limited coverage area, so I told him that he probably was on the fringes of the coverage area. That however got me thinking, as I could connect into our Uhf repeater located on the same building from roughly the same loca- on, so I decided that I d be a good assistant repeater manager (while Dan Eddleman KR4UB) our repeater manager was on vaca- on. Rushed home a er work one evening, packed up my new found love my Array Solu ons AIM4170 analyzer and went on site. Shut off the power to the repeater amplifier stage to prevent inadvertent emissions and I went to work; Disconnected the Heliax cable from the duplexer, connected into my trusty analyzer, power up the app and WOW! To my surprise the SWR profile was off the charts. Double checked with my finding, just in case the 4170 was affected by other RF emi ng equipment on the roof with my Daiwa 801CN and confirmed we had a serious issue on hand. Not sure what the next step would be I returned the equipment in func oning order and le the site. The next day I contacted Dan to share the info and suggested we shut down the repeater to protect the Amplifier, Dan was surprised I hadn t done so already, but I thought it proper to acquire approval before actually doing it. Dan and I were unsure as to how old the antenna on was so I contacted Steve Jackson (KZ1X) and discovered the antenna was over 15 years old and that the manufacture had been having problems with rainwater ge ng into the antenna. At the club monthly mee ng I shared the informa on with the group and was asked to pursue pricing a replacement antenna, with the help of Steve KZ1X and Charles Durst NC4CD a much be er replacement was proposed. Dan took the informa on I provided and ran forward with it...see our new areal below almost ready to be installed. 73, Adriano (KV7D) Orange County Radio Amateurs Newsle er Page Number 3

5 A great me was had by all par cipants as well as guests at the Lamb resort and SPA, (not really, just the homes or Wilson, De Anne, Chris and Robin Lamb). As you can tell by the satellite photo the property is very nice and houses a gues mated 2 acre pond in between the two lots on the south side. Though it is not a public loca on and somewhat remote (we need more signs next year if we do it again) to the general public, but, a very nice place to hang many, many wire dipoles as wll as hanging around with friends having another meal. The 3 orange lines depic ng the 40m wire beam show the loca on your secretary KV7D and his trusty co. captain Joes Simpson (K4SAR) located our set-up, way, way too close to the 40m CW sta on (less than 50 feet separated our areal, more separa on next year. Enjoy the pictures (not all taken pictures were included, too many) I just sampled through and picked out some of interest. Adriano (KV7D) Orange County Radio Amateurs Newsle er Page Number 5
