Club Call Signs

We currently have three club call signs.  The vanity call N5CCW was acquired for use at the National Weather Service for the ham station at that location.

The vanity call N5CRP was acquired for use on all club owned repeaters and for use at special events and contests such as Field Day.

The vanity call W5LEX is used exclusively on the USS Lexington.

Club Repeaters

The club owns and operates 2 repeaters in the Corpus Christi area which are coordinated through the Texas VHF Society..  Each of the repeaters requires a sub-audible (PL) tone of 107.2

146.82 Repeater
This repeater is located near Petronilla.  The antenna is located on a commercial tower at approximately XXX feet.  The repeater is a GE Master II repeater with an output of XXX watts.

146.88 Repeater
This repeater is located on the top of Spohn Shoreline Hospital.  The antenna is located on the top of an elevator shaft building.  The repeater is a Yaesu xxx repeater with an output of xxx watts.  This system utilizes a Link Communications RLC-CLUB controller with an open autopatch.    Autopatch Guide

Club Test Equipment

The club currently has a Tektronics xxx oscilliscope which was given to the club by the National Weather Service.  There is something wrong with the secondary trace input, but the primary input is supposed to be functional.
