After almost a year of looking for another site for the 146.625 backup repeater and the 444.225. UHF repeater we now have a one at the Marriott in Palm Beach Gardens. This is great news for everyone. This is an excellent site and we will have very good coverage in the northern sector of Palm Beach County.
The site has emergency backup power in case we loose power during a disaster and the antenna’s will be up at about 100 feet. We are planning on having all of the repeaters operational before hurricane season begins.
This new addition will add to our communication infrastructure which we have been working on over the past few years. Thanks to Clear Channel Communications, the Marriott and everyone involved. Because of these efforts and assistance we will be able to provide one of the best communication systems for Ham Radio in our area.
As of this time the Jupiter Tequesta Repeater Group is able to provide Ham Radio Communications from Vero Beach to Ft. Lauderdale and Lake Okeechobee.
This is something for all of us to be very proud of.
