W7NEO-RPT2 Digital Cabbage Hill Repeater 444.975

The “Cabbage Hill 975” repeater is our adopted site. It was previously part of another club and that club disbanded. It later went completely off the air due to equipment failure. We replaced the old analog repeater which had been off the air for a number of years with a new Fusion repeater and placed it back on the air as part of our C4FM digital voice system.

W7NEO Analog Weston Mountain Repeater 441.700

The analog repeater on Weston Mountain was originally setup for a couple of local UPS drivers so they could talk to one another as they were returning back to their home bases. Both have since retired, with one now a silent key. Since that time it has become a local mainstay for many local Hams to use and enjoy. Additionally, because of its excellent coverage, it is used as a backup for the Walla Walla Emergency Communications folks. Currently this repeater is connected to our remaining analog repeaters via AllStar. All this helps to provide a valuable resource to our local Ham community for those that either haven’t the ability or the desire to explore digital voice communications.

W7NEO Analog Cabbage Hill Repeater 146.880

The “Cabbage Hill 88” repeater is our adopted site. It was previously part of another club which has since disbanded. It later went completely off the air due to equipment failure, and remained off the air for over three years. We replaced the failed repeater with a new, and much improved repeater thereby putting the repeater back on the air. The local history of this repeater spans just over forty years, so the renovation of this site was particularly important to us. It is also linked to our other analog repeaters via Allstar.
