DUNN PEAK 147.380 repeater - Issues again...
Sometime in February it was noted that the Dunn Peak 147.380 repeater was behaving a bit strange. Between weak signal reports and intermittence we were unsure of what to think. Unfortunately by the beginning of March the site seems to have gone completely deaf and is not receiving well or at all.
This is a call to all of you who travel out in the vicinity of Snowville and along the I-84 to please try the repeater. It would be most useful if you tried at varying power levels to see what it takes to trigger the repeater if at all. Please send your results to KG7RDR, thank you.

Field Day!
28-29 June - East Garland Park
Due to a scheduling conflict with Bear River; field day has been moved to the East Garland park in...East Garland!
The park is located at the intersection of NE Garland Rd and 14400N
approximate address is 4400W 14400N
At this time we are in the process of arranging a potluck dinner for Saturday night at 6:00 PM, meal is yet to be determined.
This is a nice park with large open areas, shelter, bathrooms, and plenty of parking for campers in the lot.
As in years past this event runs from 12:00 on Saturday to 12:00 on Sunday, help for setup and takedown is greately appreciated. Setup will likely begin Saturday morning at 08:00. The plan right now is to deploy two 80M loops which will take some hands to do. Additional antennas to be supported by trees and other vertical poles.
We are still planning on operating four stations at this time.
Unless otherwise stated, meetings take place at the "Bear River City Offices"
The address is
5871 N 4700 W, Bear River City, UT 84301
