Grand Manan Island repeater to be relocated

Submitted by admin on Tue, 2022/11/15 - 19:12

The VE9GMI repeater (146.955-) repeater is off the air, and will be relocated to Campobello Island when scheduling permits.  (Update 20 June 2023Campobello Island repeater now on air)

Other services at the Airport Road site were moved to a privately owned tower with the start of the NB-TMR Radio system in 2016.    We were fortunate to be able to have the repeater remain active at the old site until it was removed on November 10, and the old site will be decommissioned.

There are a couple of quirks still to work out and users may notice:

  • Occasional audio drop-outs from Stanley and Grand Lake repeaters
  • Difficulty bringing "all links on" to full system from Stanley and Grand Lake repeaters

The new Grand Lake repeater has been added to the IRG linking system.  VE9GLA has a frequency of 145.190 (minus offset).  The repeater is located on Hardwood Ridge, and is now included in the Stanley Zone in the linking system.  Users can use the regular codes to link to or from Stanley Zone for contact within Grand Lake area.

The repeater was installed in December 2019 and was operating with good coverage as a stand-alone repeater.  With its hard-link to Stanley, VE9GLA adds a wider area coverage to central New Brunswick.
