From: Richard Lenker May 2, 2019
RACES Officer and Amateur Radio Emergency Coordinator for Dauphin County
To the:
Harrisburg Area Skywarn Members,
Harrisburg Amateur Radio Club,
Central Pennsylvania Repeater Asso.,
And all Radio Amateur’s
As the driving force to clear up receiving issues from the Ellendale 145.110 Mhz. repeater. The primary unit used by the Skywarn group of 40 members, to report weather issues to the National Weather Bureau. I am pleased to report after some testing and site visits, adjustments and changing out a bad voter card. Today I spoke to a radio maintenance tech at 5 PM and he assured me the 145.110 MHZ, and the 448.075 MHz, stations should be working at their best in years. The 147.075 MHz needs some tower work. Three years ago, the coordinator noted a wrong PL on the 145.110 MHz repeater and had it changed. In turn the satellite receivers were never changed. Please set your radios to 131.8.
The big test was Wednesday night’s Skywarn net. Checking’s from the upper county’s like Snyder, Schuylkill and Potter Township’s EOC came in like they were next door. This will boost the reliability and increase usership for the Skywarn efforts.
I want to thank Ricky Peterson from Dauphin County who put up with my, persistence and questions, that brought this issue to a wonderful completion.
Keep the airways warm,
Richard Lenker
