SGF09 Back In Service
July 5th, 2008 by kq0q
Springfield packet users will be pleased to know that the SGF09 packet node is back in service! SGF09 allows us to link to two full service PBBS’s and effectively link up to the rest of the packet world. Mike Blake and David Patillo installed an Icom 2100 radio and Kantronics KPC 3 TNC at the Channel 10 transmitting tower in Fordland, MO. The station was connected to an existing antenna that had been abandon when the 145.490 repeater was moved to the KWFQ tower site. The SGF09 antenna is approximately at the 550 ft elevation. 5 watts should be enough to get you into the node from most places in Springfield.
We have more to do but this is a big step for packet in the immediate Springfield area. SGF09 allows you to link to two full service PBBS’s and virtually the rest of the packet world.
