[HiDARG-MEMBERS] Hotspots/Nodes/ETC

Fri Mar 1 13:22:26 EST 2019

QRZ.com shows a Technician  license grant to KF7BFM on 2/9/19.  KF7 should have been in the system some time back, but it that is his first license, maybe it’s a new ham that doesn’t yet know all the ropes.  I have not heard it at my QTH in River’s Edge.

The Node that is running on 146.500 is owned by  KF7BFM it is allstar node 49048

http://stats.allstarlink.org/nodeinfo.cgi?node=49048

The coverage I know of at this point is about S-2 in the south bend at Walmart and S-7/8 from DCSO on the south of town. Based on this the Node is located at the OPs QTH. 

Would like to see if users in the northern area are able to copy it, (Prineville) it ID's with CW not sure on the time frame but did at 0700 this morning.

I do not know the input PL tone to be able to activate it.

The ORRC Band Plan <http://www.orrc.org/BandPlan.aspx?Plan=200>  is the Gentleman's Agreement in play here.  While I do not condone a high power Hotspot in the 2 meter band, there ARE 147 Mhz simplex frequencies.  There are also experimental frequencies in the 1 1/4 meter band <http://www.orrc.org/BandPlan.aspx?Plan=125>  and above.

Thanks Casey………

Regardless of anyone persons use or purpose or opinion…..interfering with the public(HAM) use of a freq that is generally or officially agreed upon is still a violation of the rules

and especially the gentleman’s agreement that we all hopefully should be following. Maybe picking a frequency that is away from what is commonly used 

in our area should be utilized, for whatever experimental purposes are being worked on. Lots of assumptions here.

     Hotspots/Nodes/ETC whatever you want to call them.. but the occurrence of them is starting to get out of hand. 

    First off I want to state I have no problem with these nodes in general, I have an Allstar node at home Myself. The issue is when people start to run these on higher power radios and covering the town or using a freq that common sense should dictate they should QSY.

     A few months ago someone in Bend was running one on 146.520, I could copy it all over town (and south of town) and it was connected to a very active system. Completely made 146.520 unusable for you know what 146.520 is normally used for. As it also had a PL code for the input I couldn't even talk on it. That one finally QSY somewhere...

      Now, this morning there is a new one running on the Freq used for the  Grizzly Simplex net. I heard it the other night but once again there is a PL tone and I can't get into it, so waste of a freq. 

      I feel that if you want a personal node/hotspot it should be at a wattage that covers your house or your property, there is no need for you to cover the town with your Nodes RF.  If you want to run a high power node, get a repeater pair and have at it. 

            I know that some of my views will not be popular and many will give me the "no one owns the simplex freq" "and ARRL band plan is not the law" and so forth I'm just stating owners of hotspots should be more considerate.
