Joe WA5VMS and crew erected a 136' Rohn 45 tower near Lake Ft. Gibson and established a new analog FM repeater on 927.650 TX and 902.650 RX with a DCS code of 074. The DCS code may be changed if interference with a repeater on the same channel with the same DCS code near Bartlesville occurs. Also on the same tower is an improved version of the 147.33 (+600 88.5 PL) down on the two meter band. The 147.93/33 machine also will respond to transmissions using p25 mode with a NAC of 293, however it only transmits analog FM.

147.225 Cheyenne moved to Mayfield

Submitted by wb5osm on Mon, 08/18/2014 - 11:26

The 147.225 N0GB repeater that was coordinated for Cheyenne in Roger Mills County is now on the air from a site near Mayfield in Beckham County, close to the border of Oklahoma with the Texas Panhandle. The trustee, Guy Baker, now has a new call sign W5LWV. A PL tone of 114.8 Hz is required to key the machine and it is open to all radio amateurs. We calculated the HAAT of the repeater to be about 120 ft. It should provide good coverage to Beckham county.

K5GSM/R 442.3 near Granite has moved to Fay (near Watonga) and is now on 442.375

Submitted by wb5osm on Sat, 07/12/2014 - 18:41

Trustee Brian K5GSM acquired a spot on a tower at the new QTH, but was slightly too close to another machine in the NW district, so we coordinated a new pair and the machine is now on the air from the Blaine county site operating on 447.375 RX/442.375 TX from an HAAT of 492 FT, and an effective radiated power of about 300 watts. The machine is linked to the 145.11 near Alfalfa in Caddo county which in turn is linked to 145.410 in OKC in order to help with Skywarn and emergency operations in NW Oklahoma.
