Update OE6XEG/OE6XED

"Rennfeld" voice repeater is situated near the city of Bruck/Mur approx 1630m over sea level. That's about 50km north of Graz.The grid locator is JN77QJ.
In the past I made an offer to the Sysops OE6MKD and OE6WUD to help them to revitalize the 2m and 70cm voice repeater. I'll support them with RF-material such as Cellfelex Cable, Antennas, measurement units a.s.o.

The first step is to change the antenna system.
Actually there is a Wave Trap Antenna for 2m and a vertical polarised dipole for 70cm up there.

There is also a Packet Radio Link Antenna for the 23cm Band on the same mast.

The plan is to change the 2m and 70cm antenna against a dualband vertical.
The electrical lenght of the dualband antenna is l5/8 at 70cm and l1/2 on 2m.
For the 23cm we expect a change to a helical type.

Today I get the information that a possible start date is Sunday the 2nd April 2006.
So perhaps it works. If yes, I can present you some fine photos..........
