Repeaters

The Denver Radio League operates 3 voice repeaters and one packet digipeater from two sites.

Photos of the Centennial Site are linked to the left of this page.

Repeater Status

In order for the status of a system be be changed an official of the DRL must contact the webmaster here with that new information.

If you note a problem on a repeater contact a board member immediately to report it. You might also contact the webmaster here so I can update the Status display above.

New Repeater/Digi Sites Under Consideration

Two new sites are being examined for their feasibility in extending amateur radio services to the metro community.

Franktown Fire

The Franktown Fire Station at the intersection of Flintwood Road and SR-86 which is 4.5 miles east of downtown Franktown. Initially this site was contacted about the possibility of placing an APRS DIGI on their property. Current status of that negotiation is unknown by me. Updates welcome

Arapahoe County Fairgrounds

The new Arapahoe County Fairgrounds has a very nice new water tower. We have contacts in that area and may be able to negotiate a repeater placement there. Again, current status of this project is unknown by me and updates are always welcome.

Both sites are in a preliminary phase of consideration. In order to facilitate discussions amongst the DRL members, I've posted propagation maps made with Radio Mobile for both of these sites.
