NORTH CAROLINA FM REPEATER ASSOCIATION INC.
On March 14, 1971, a large group of North Carolina
amateur repeater owners and repeater club repre-
sentatives met in Greensboro to determine if
interest existed within the state to form some
type of state wide organization to represent
the "new FM Repeater interests". Representatives
from most of the active repeaters within the
state were present at the session. The decision
to form the North Carolina FM Repeater Association
Inc. was unanimous.
On April 18, again in Greensboro, the Association
was formally created, and a seven member Board of
Directors was elected.
The basic purposes of the Association are:
(1) to promote the exchange of information con-
cerning repeater installation and operation among
the amateurs of North Carolina, (2) offer guidance
and assistance in establishing repeaters in the
state, (3) provide a unified voice for VHF FM
interests in N. C. to the FCC and other groups,
and (4) advance the general interest and welfare
of amateur radio as a public service.
Two classes of membership are available:
(1) Full Members - these are the individuals or
clubs that own and operate repeaters that
service N. C. Each repeater owner (whether
it be an individual or club) is allowed two
representatives, and one vote, toward direct-
ing the progress of the Association. These
representatives elect a seven member Board of
Directors annually to functionally operate
the Association. Annual dues for Full Members
is $ 6.00. Charter Membership which will be
available until Seprember 157919 lis S25.00.
(2) Associate Members - these are individual
amateurs interested and/or active in VHF
FM operations. Associate Members will
receive a revised edition of the Repeater
Directory annually, plus four quarterly
Newsletters. These newsletters will keep
the membership informed of organizational
activities, FCC rulemaking, and what's
happening around the state. Annual dues
are $ 2.00. Additionally, one general
membership meeting will be held each year, -
normally associated with a hamfest or ARRL
Convention. Special FM programs will be
conducted at these meetings.
Only through a united effort on the part of
individual repeater owners and clubs will the
goals and aspirations of the North Carolina FM
Repeater Association be realized. If you or
your club currently operate a repeater, or if
you have definite plans for placing one into
service, and you\would like to become a part of
this Association, please write for a repeater
membership application.
Tne Association has the potential for becoming
the largest single organized voice for amateur
radio in the state of North, Carolinas. .9me
would certainly like to have you contribute
to this voice.

PLAIN TALK ABOUT REPEATERS
What is a repeater?
A repeater is a combination of a receiver and a
transmitter, each tuned to separate frequencies,
and interconnected by a carrier operated relay and
certain other linkages. The repeater is able to
receive a signal on one frequency and retransmit
it on a second frequency at the same time.
Normally, repeaters are located at high eleva-
tions, such as on mountain tops or high buildings,
and serve to extend the communications range beyond
the normalcapabilities of the typical VHF station.
Stations most often requiring the capabilities
of tne repeater are mobile or portable units commun-
icating with other mobiles, portables or base
Stations. Using a repeater, a low powered mobile
or hand carried walkie talkie can communicate with
similar stations over ranges of 20 to 60 miles.
There are 17 active repeaters in North Carolina
at the present time, serving all major metropolitan
areas. Some of these repeaters are owned and oper-
ated by individual amateurs, others by organized
groups or clubs.
Operating through a repeater offers a new
experience in amateur radio -- so how about it?
How do I call into a repeater?
There is no established standard for announcing
your presence through a repeater. But there are
several accepted means and we will review them here.
However, before we start, there are several things
which you must know about repeaters.
1. Long calls into repeaters are completely
unnecessary, and should be avoided.
2. Repeaters are equipped with automatic logging
recorders that tape a specified lenght of
time during a transmission - you are
obligated to find out what this time period
is and identify your station so it will get
on the log. This requirement is being
in
1D
reviewed by the FCC but it is a requirement
a abst ine...
Most repeaters are equipped with a timer
which will shut the repeater down if an
input signal holds the receiver open (or the
transmitter on) for more than a pre set time
period. Most repeaters in North Carolina
have 3 minute timers in use.
Some repeaters have automatic identifiers -
either voice or CW - while others require that
the using station identify not only himself,
but the repeater too.
All repeaters are equipped with remote
control mechanisms whereby several "Control
Stations} can turn the unit “off andvon@tsom
some remote locations.
Most repeaters have an automatic clock timer
that turns the repeater on and shuts it off
at pre set times.”
Repeaters should be used for communication
where simplex operation is not satisfactory.
This is usually the case for portable and
mobile stations.
Breaking stations should be recognized
immediately, in the event they have emergency
traffic. Stations in 0SO should@aliowee. |
ficient time between successive transmissions
to allow other stations to break in.
When making calls - you should announce the
frequency on which you are listening. If
you are getting into a repeater - which you
did not know about - then someone can get
on your frequency and tell you; or he may
alert you to the fact that there is a repeat-
er on some other frequency.
Remember - you are using someone else's
equipment. The repeater represents someone's
hard work, money, and license. So adhere to
all regulations, and do not over extend your
privileges.
Now - how about those procedures? Assume your
call is WA4XXX, and the repeater you are operat-
ing through is K40K which has an input frequency
of 146.34 mhz. and an output frequency of
146.94 mhz. The time is 1830 local time.
LE SL EMNSS 62 ER Anes 20 ait
a. You wish to announce that you are on frequency
and ready to enter into QSO with any station.
You should announce:
L830; athis: ist wWA4Kxxon 34/94"
b. You wish to call W4BO- an old friend who
abandoned 3938 when you did. You should say:
L530), (WABO thistis WAGeex on 4/945"
c. You wish to break into a QSO in progress.
Here is- the sequence:
' Break (as-so00n as’ you Bay! *break"’:
everyone should pause anda let ©
the repeater drop out - when
this happens you say:)
'" 1830, this is WA4XxXx"
d. You wish to sign out of the repeater after you
have had your fun - drop your signal, to allow
the repeater input to clear, then announce:
"1830, WA4XXX clear through K40K"
e. What should you do if the repeater "times out"
while you are talking? Of.course you will not
know this as long as you talk - but when you stop
and drop your signal, you will not hear the
repeater squelch ~ nor will the other station
answers YOU. 50 se. walt 39 ‘Seconds re-Key “the
repeater and resume the contact. The other
Stations meanwhile sit patiently and wait -
taey should not be trying stare skey., the
repeater -- for only you will know when the
right time to re-key has arrived. For after all
icawas VOU that tamedelinouc.
Notice that the time and your call are announced
so they can get into the automatic taped log.
Everything is short and sweet. And by the way-
use local time, not GMT.
