The
Loma Pioneer Repeater Club is an organization of active radio
amateurs devoted to public service, providing high-level emergency
communications in times of catastrophe or emergency. We understand
how important it is to preserve amateur radio as a resource
and a hobby.
2 Meters
The mighty high-level 2 meter repeater WR6ABD is on 146.640
MHz, negative offset, 162.2 PL tone. The elevation of the
receiving antenna is over 3,800 feet. It overlooks the San
Francisco Bay and Monterey Bay Areas on Mt. Loma Prieta.
The weekly LPRC club check-in is at 8 PM, Tuesday nights
Pacific Time on the 2 meter machine.
A digipeater and packet node are also
available.
70 cm
In addition to the 2-meter LPRC repeater, we have a 440 machine
at 442.900, positive offset, 162.2 PL, which is an open machine
run by our partners at the WIN
System. The "Western
Intertie Network" is a linked system of more than
75 repeaters worldwide. If you haven't checked out the WIN
System machine, it's a lot of fun and active pretty much around
the clock.
Yahoo! Groups
The Club has a Yahoo
Users Group, which is our primary means of email communication.
Just look up "lomapioneer," all one word, no capitals,
in Yahoo! Groups. Sign up if you haven't already done so.
It's free! You can just use your callsign as your user name.
Breakfast Meetings
The Club holds quarterly breakfasts on the third Saturdays
of January, April and October. Come join us and meet your
friends!
Annual Summer Picnic
The LPRC also hosts an Annual Picnic. This is a well-attended
event usually held in the last week of July of each year at
Mount Madonna Park. Plan to come, one and all!
