Badger Pass Repeater and Site

The Badger Pass site is unique in that it currently does not have commercial power. As such, we plan on installing a Solar/Wind Generation power system adequate enough to operate our one UHF repeater. Badger Pass is an excellant location, at over 7,200 feet, it looks over the Dillon valley as well as west into Bannack and Jackson. Coverage from Idaho to just south of Butte on I15 is expected, along with Twin Bridges and other communities. The repeater frequency will be 449.1 input and 444.1 output with 100.0 PL, different from MacDonald Pass to prevent possible overlap in coverage. More info will be posted as the repeater is closer to installation.
