Introduction:

Central Florida's Favorite Repeater!

The repeater offers a great place to exchange information, and learn about technical issues. It is a diverse group of knowledgeable people and those who are not technical. The repeater provides a platform to promote learning thru ham radio, in a friendly environment.

The 147.120 Repeater is located between Longwood, Florida and Five Points. The antenna is about 250 feet in the air. The repeater is a Yaesu Vertex VXR-7000, Cat 300 controller, and a 6 cavity TX/RX duplexer. The repeater is running about 30 watts into a station master 6 db vertical antenna.

The Technet is a great example of the repeater and how it is being used to promote learning. The TechNet:About is held at 8:00 PM on Wednesdays on Orlando 147.120 repeater. On Wednesday night, we host the Wednesday Night Tech Net. The Tech Net is a place to discuss or ask questions of things technical in nature. Ask questions or show up to help Elmer the local users who ask questions and need experienced answers. Everyone is welcome to join in on this net.

If you wish to discuss anything technical about Amateur radio please join our mailing list.
