Repeater Features - Wide Area Coverage
One of the best features of the repeater
is it's wide coverage area. With the addition of the remote receive
sites, the repeater's capability to pick up that weak signal improved
dramatically. The repeater system currently has three remote sites.
The 300 foot Richland Center site near Rochester, In. increased our
range to the south. The 100 foot Laporte, In. summit site opens up
the west, and Lake Michigan waterfront. The 300 foot western Elkhart
Co. location that improved our coverage to the north, and east. Depending
on your equipment, of course, the repeater system, with the remote receivers
are able to hear, and be heard for much of the Northern Indiana area,
and parts of other adjoining states. This means that you don't have to
end your QSO when you reach the city limits. Also the wide coverage range,
allows more amateurs to reach the repeater, and therefore provides for
a greater number of possible contacts.
