Visiting Mosinee Hill, WI Amateur Radio Repeater Site - Ham Radio Q&A 

They're called Duplexers. They provide filtering and isolation so that you can run two frequencies (one for receive and one for transmit) on the same antenna.

I use Adobe Premiere for my video editing. It has features that allow for a traveling a mask so you can blur out selective parts of the screen. I'm not sure if iMovie has this feature but it is common on the professional video editing tools.

For this particular site, the tower is owned by the local land mobile shop. They make their money off the cell carrier leases and other commercial wireless providers, so they are very gracious to allow us to be on the site. Vertical real estate on a tower can get quite expensive, and it can be quite a challenge for an amateur radio group to find free or cheap space on a tower. Often it's about building relationships and publicizing your worth to the community.

That would be just about six miles fron my house. Cant reach the 2nd nearest one in Antigo.

The amateur and GMRS repeaters on Mosinee hill of currently offline. We are in the process in moving the equipment from one tower/building to the other tower/building on the hill. The old concrete building will then be town down and a new structure put in its place. I'm not sure when the GMRS will be back online but we are hoping for the ham stuff to be active by the end of the month- it all depends on when we can get a crew on the tower.

@@KB9VBRAntennas That's the best news I've heard all day. If you need any help. Granted I don't know anything. Let me know.

www.radioreference.com is a great resource for finding both amateur radio and public safety repeaters in your area. Otherwise my video on the 2 meter band: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PXPH6wVHecU.html will be helpful if you are just sweeping the 2 meter amateur radio band for signals.

RepeaterBook.com is another great resource.

Although I'm not a GMRS user, I do have the repeater in my scan list. There used to be a lot of GMRS activity in the area when the local REACT group was active, but this is no longer the case. I used to hear tons of GMRS activity on the ski hill over the winter, but cell phones killed that traffic. The owner, Rich, works in Stevens Point so you might get a hold of him on the air during drive time.

thanks I live in plover

now the 675 has some range south. it did not make it to point a few days ago

@@KB9VBRAntennas I only have gmrs repeaters in my scanners because of certain people jamming and thinking that I'm doing it but they're in for a big surprise if they ever continue to do that because I have all my scanners connected to a tape auxiliary output on both the inputs and outputs for the repeater pairs that way I'm covered in case somebody in my area messes around just as they did with my amateur radio callsign by calling in a false fireworks complaint to the local sheriff's department on the radio and because somebody did that and thought it was a joke my license is no longer going to be renewed for ham radio according to Laura Smith from the FCC after a very nasty phone call that I ended up flipping out on her if only I was good enough to listen to other people's advice and never should have gotten a ham radio license and gmrs license in the first place I never would have been picked on because of my autism I know people hated hearing me on the radio because of my monotone voice sometimes repeating what I say and they probably got annoyed and started to take advantage of that and took it in their own hands to make sure I stayed off the radio well they succeeded hope those motherfuckers are happy I hate living in southeastern Wisconsin I can't seem to enjoy anything without getting messed with ask everybody I'm sure everyone's heard about me or don't was of me and told vicious lies and rumors of who I am I know Mike kb9vbr has heard a lot about me from other amateur radio operators I'm sure of he would never tell me of course but that's exactly how people are if they don't like you that will Jam you and do whatever it takes to make you get off the air especially being autistic like I am radio is just no place for anyone autistic!!!!!!!!!!
