Jim, N7LL is moving this MMDVM repeater to Kamiak Butte very soon. Kamiak is a great site and will ultimately provide coverage from ColFax, Palouse, Pullman and Moscow and other nearby areas of Eastern Washington.
The site will soon get the following upgrades:
- Current 0 dB antenna will be upgraded to a 4.7 dB Omni Stick (donation by WA7VFQ)
- Antenna to be moved higher up the tower
- MMDVM repeater to be swapped out to a higher power Motorola MotoTRBO repeater
- Potential donation by KC7AAD
Jim is working with WSU to secure better antenna location as well as possibly adding or supplementing a VHF repeater at Kamiak.
The potential upgrades hopefully will occur by the end of spring.
