CCC Repeater

 

CCC Repeater VA6CAL
Operating parameters: the repeater transmits on 147.135MHz and listens on 147.735 MHz. Users radios need to be configured to receive on 147.135MHz and transmit on 147.735MHz. It uses a tone of 110.9Hz on the input to help limit interface. NOTE: VA6CAL will be going off the air for an period of time while being relocated from the CBC tower site. While it is off the air, the CCC Sunday net will be held on repeater VE6QCW (147.240 + with NO tone). We will begin using VA6QCW for the nets starting on September 27, 2026. The EchoLink/AllstarLink node has already been redirected to VE6QCW (see next paragraph).

An EchoLink connection is also in place, using a radio and internet connection at VE6PLC's home. The EchoLink node is listed under VE6PLC-R (node #942573). This node also includes AllStarLink access (node 64590). To make a connection to an EchoLink node through the repeater, send DTMF *33 plus the remote node number with leading zeros so that the total length is 9 characters. Send *13 plus the node number, padded with leading zeros, to disconnect. To connect to an AllStarLink node, send *3 plus the node number with no leading zeros. To disconnect, send *1 plus the node number. EchoLink presentation by VE6PLC

For people who don't want to install the full EchoLink program on their computer and mess with port forwarding in their router, there is now a web based application: EchoLink web application. You still need to register your call sign at echolink.org.

Location: the VA6CAL repeater has been hosted by Prairie Mobile in their building at the base of the CBC tower on the west side of Calgary (on the south side of Old Banff Coach Road). Thank-you, Prairie Mobile! Prairie Mobile is relocating away from the site, which is why VA6CAL needs a new home.

We have a net on VE6QCW every Sunday at 7:00 PM Mountain time. Visitors are welcome to join in, including over EchoLink.
