Little White Mtn

The Little White Mountain repeater is powered exclusively by solar energy.

A friendly reminder that kerchunking (transmitting a carrier without identifying, for the purposes of bringing up a repeater) is not only against the radio regulations, but is wasteful of the limited power available on solar powered repeaters.

IRLP Node 1491 (removed). Autopatch removed.

Linked via UHF 447.225 (Peachland) to Campbell Mountain Penticton 147.120.

Problems

  • Link between 146.620 (Kelowna) and 447.225 (Peachland) is now working, but only in the direction from Orchard to Peachland.
  • Link from Peachland to Orchard is NOT working.
  • Campbell Mtn repeater 147.120 is down, so there is no link from Peachland to Pentiction active at the moment.

Partial blockage by nearby buildings is not shown on the map.

Parts of Downtown (Towards North End and Royal Heights) are shaded by Landmark 6.

Glenmore Valley and Glenmore Highlands will be shaded by Landmark 7 when construction is complete. This will leave only a small slice along Clifton road with direct line of sight to the repeater.

Coverage in other directions should be similar to that shown on the map.
