[One Country Boy]

Good morning... My son and some other club members completed the link between our two 2-meter repeaters here in Gulf County yesterday. They are working well. A little tweeking will be required on the audio levels.

There are two 4 element beams aimed at each other, fed with heliax, both at 80 ft. We are able to run the two 220 MHz radios on low power (5 watts) with mostly full scale signals over our flat terrain. The yagis are positioned harizontally to attempt to avoid any interference from other stray signals. There is some sort of hash noise getting into one of the links, not sure what it is just yet. It makes it very nice to work from anywhere in the county and several miles outside the county on handhelds.

Have a great day and a good week all.
