The North Central Alberta Amateur Radio Club now has a DStar repeater online in St. Albert. VE6JKB is online, however it is on a temporary antenna until we can get a new antenna on the mast.
Details:
VE6JKB Module B
444.250+ MHz
Coverage from what I’ve been able to determine ranges from Spruce Grove to Sherwood Park. With a base antenna it’s possible to get into it from Millwoods, but it does require high power to get in. I have not determined the coverage to the north.
Also did you know that IRLP is coming to VE6LAW? Mark (VE6BHO) and Myself (VA6AWS) have been working on installing an SCOM 7330 controller and a combo IRLP/Echolink node on VE6LAW. Stay tuned for updates on when it will be fully installed.
