Antenna Assemblers Needed!
Our previous antenna atop the National Weather Center suffered a catastrophic failure during a severe weather event. Thanks to former club president, Jarrod Manning, grant funds were secured to purchase a new antenna, which needs to be assembled and then placed by a tower crew. If you are interested in volunteering your time to help with assembly, please reach out to Jon at jonathan.g.arnett-1@ou.edu.
VHF/UHF

The repeater is used by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Norman to communicate with distant stations, particularly in the Northwest of Oklahoma. This use has priority. Registered D-STAR users may connect to any DPLUS reflector or use the system to connect to another D-STAR station or repeater. Latest users. D-STAR registration. D-STAR Live Monitor (via ircDDB). This is not an analog repeater and requires the use of D-STAR-capable equipment.
