* Construct pieces for Richwood site.  Cabinet is now ready, obtained 5/8" bolts to fill open bulkhead slots.  Planning on using 3 of 8 to start. Diamond V2000, Diamond V23 (APRS), Cushcraft 224WB.  Use 4 (2 low/rear, 2 top) 5" fans for air circulation.
 
* Setup a pair of 70-530B radios for 438 MHz range as a dedicated link between CMHSW2 and CMHSW3.  Will use 70cm side of AR-270B at CMHSW2, antenna at CMHSW3 TBD.  Set quality to 250 on both sides.
 
* Remove 223.420 MHz radio/antenna from CMHSW2, CMHSW3, CMHSW4
 
* Add 145.010 MHz radio at CMHSW2, use 2m side of AR-270B.  Attempt path to LAN01 in Lancaster, possibly MECH/CMHSW4.
 
* Add 29.675 MHz port to CMHSW2 and CMHSW4.  Try to make a seasonal resilient link to replace 223.420 MHz.  Use VALIDCALLS and L3ONLY in BPQ port definitions
 
* Add 446.975 MHz port to CMHSW4 on small home brew 70cm quad aimed south towards LANSW1.  Set quality less than 223.660 (240), but greater than 50.64 (220).

* Columbus/Battelle - 446.625 Radio seems to be slightly off frequency or is clipping due to over-deviation.  Prepare LMR replacement wired for a DRSI DPK*2.
+
* Ashland - Online
 +
 
 +
* Columbus/Battelle - Had to be removed due to personel changes at Battelle
  
* Columbus/Lincoln Tower - Tune VHF Duplexer for 144.390/144.930 to share GP-9 on 2m.  Get inventory of existing antennas.  Should be a 449-6S beam pointed towards Worthington and a 224WB pointed towards Lancaster.
+
* Columbus/Lincoln Tower - Parking for now
  
* Johnstown - 223.420 MHz link to Worthington is still not working at all.  Replaced radio/TNC, verified SWR on antenna.  Not making it to CMHSW2 or CMHSW3.  May be overgrowth due to season.  6m link from CMHSW2 is making it seemingly well.  Run ethernet cable to outbuilding, possibly establish backup AXIP/AXUDP links.  Investigate the possible addition of a 446.975 port to serve as a backup to Lancaster/WW Hill.  Directional antenna likely needed.
+
* Johnstown - Online, replaced computer with 1U compaq server, seems to hold up in heat better.
  
* Lancaster/Firestation #1 - Radio, TNCs, Eproms (TheNet X-1J4) and Diplexer ready for installation to existing antenna.  This should have a good path south to Marietta (MARC:W8HH-1), may also provide backup links to Guernsey (GNSY:K8AL-1) and Mechanicsburg (MECH:N8XIX-12) all on 145.010 MHz.
+
* Lancaster/Firestation #1 - Online
  
* Lancaster/FMC - Radio, TNCs, computer are ready.  Waiting to install V2000 and A270-6S.  Will sunset BBS at LFARC Clubhouse afterwards.

* Lancaster/FMC - Online, installed Polyphaser on V2000, grounded packet and echolink computers.
  
* Lancaster/WW Hill - Everything is on the air, need to install shelving system and update routes to WA8WNI and W8ALC.
+
* Lancaster/WW Hill - Online, installed Polyphaser on V2000
  
* Pataskala - Contact W8ALC to see if he has interest in hosting additional systems.
+
* Mechanicsburg - Offline, cronic computer trouble.  Have replacement to Rick.  Waiting installation.  Need to install small antenna in 433 MHz range to link Mechanicsburg to Mutual
  
* Mechanicsburg - Add additional 70cm antennas to allow links to Richwood and Springfield.  Need one additional Radio and TNC.  Will need to add 2 more ports to the BPQ polling cable.
+
* Mutual - Offline, wiring issue, waiting to hear from Rick.
  
* Mutual - V2000 is in the air, 2m and 70cm radios available, nothing tentative yet.
+
* Richwood - Online
  
* Richwood - 2 of 3 antennas are installed, feedlines run.  Need to install one additional mast to support last 2m antenna (F23) for APRS.  Cabinet is finished. Radios, TNCs and computer is ready.  Going to need help getting the cabinet up there.
+
* Springfield - Online
  
* South Vienna - Site inventory, see available antenna space, what bands are available for linking.  Hoping this will open up a path to Dayton.
+
* West Liberty - On hold
  
* Springfield - Antenna space unavailable at this time. Need to relocate IRA VHF repeater firstTentatively planning on a 70cm link to South Vienna and Mechanicsburg.
+
* Worthington/CMHSW2 - Online, recently added 3.585 USB WINMOR portIdeally want to install end fed half wave for 30m and 80m to help reduce crosstalk.
  
* Worthington - 222 MHz link to Johnstown is not working, suspect Johnstown side.  Verify 30m radio is on and function on 10.151 LSB, not seeing any long distance APRS activity.
+
* Worthington/CMHSW3 - Offline, hopefully pending move
  
* Upper Sandusky - Get in contact with station engineer.  See what facilties are available.  Reach out to local club to see if any sponsorship can be gained (Mainly antennas, feedline and power supplies).  Ideally would like to link to Richwood, possibly Mechanicsburg to the south then Findlay and Tiffin to the north.

Latest revision as of 15:30, 15 April 2018

Here is a list of things we are collectively working on.

Purchase

  • Acquire/split up power supplies at CMHSW2, CMHSW3, CMHSW4, #RCHWD to handle higher load from Midland LMR Radios
  • Acquire large spool (1000ft) of RG-213 and PL-259 Connectors. ***Update 11/08/09*** Secured 3 500ft rolls of LMR400 clone cable. 1st roll is consumed post MECH install.
  • Continue to acquire gear/test equipment for shared workshop. Will need antennas to cover as much HF as possible, 6m, 2m, 222 MHz, 70cm. Spare power supplies, few computers for workstations/web search, eprom burning facilities, packet host to test cables for 4 main interfaces: soundmodem(Linux), DRSI, TNC2, Kantronics 9 pin.
  • Locate portable computer, 20amp switching power supply and appropriate cabling for a portable LMR programming station covering both Syntech I and XTR/Syntech II models.
  • Syntech I programmer. Ordered on 5/5, expected ship on 5/7. ***Update 6/02/09*** Programmer arrived, successfully programming Z-273 and Z-383 modules.
  • Diamond MX-2000 (6m/2m/70cm) Triplexers with pigtails to allow connections to LMR radios.
  • SWR Meter effective up to 1200 MHz for usage for 33cm and 23cm antenna construction. (Diamond SX-1100) ***Update 1/26/10*** Meter purchased
