Yesterday, Dave WA1JHK, Matt KB0KZR, and Lexi N0LXI traveled to the club's Squaw Mountain site, to replace hardware related to the link node connection to the repeaters, and upgrade the software on the node to meet our current standard.  The trip was a success - the audio coming from 145.145 into the link now sounds like it's supposed to - clean, full, no noise.  It should be so good, you can't tell which repeater the person you're talking to is using.  We think you'll agree, it sounds pretty close to this now!  We also left a couple of spare parts, and performed some other maintenance task

Because of the Conifer site move, 147.225 is temporarily off the air.  All nets have moved to 145.460.  Our new 145.460 location on Eldorado Mountain southwest of Boulder provides excellent coverage of Boulder, Denver Metro, and points east.  Please join us there.  

After 35 years, the CRA is moving from its Conifer repeater site.  Our sincere thanks to the Elk Creek Fire District for hosting us all these years while we have provided support to the community during fires, floods, blizzards, severe summer storms and other times of community need. 

The upgraded link hardware for 145.460 to link it to 147.225 and 145.160 is complete and has been installed at the club's Eldorado Mountain site.  The link is now operational.  The Eldorado Mountain repeater site with 145.460 and 447.975 provides excellent coverage of Boulder, Denver metro, and areas to the northeast.

[Update 7/16/2017, WA1JHK]  Today's work day at the Conifer site was a success.  Thanks to Dave WA1JHK, Barry N0KV, Brad K0BJR and Jim WD0E for getting this work done in advance of the tower construction project that starts tomorrow.  We have removed the antennas and feedlines from the tower that were required prior to the construction.

Watch this space for updates...

The new hardware to put 224.980 back on the air is almost ready.  When complete, we'll be installing it at the club's Conifer Mountain site and linking it again with 147.225.
