Boulder Hill Repeater and Site
The Boulder Hill repeater was
the second repeater to be put on the air. It is located on the Boulder Hill
ridge line about a mile west of Interstate 15 and about 7 miles north of
Boulder, Montana. It also overlooks the town of Wickes on the North side
of the hill. The site sits at an elevation of 6,160 feet and has a 50 foot
tower. The UHF repeater consists of a Motorola SLR5700 repeater operating
at 50 watts. The repeater transmits and receives into a Celwave PD-1151
Station Master antenna located at about 55 feet above ground. The repeater
works in Helena, East Helena, Boulder, along State Route 69 to I90, Whitehall,
and many other locations. It also provides good coverage along I15 from
well north of Helena south to Butte. This repeater is permanently linked
to the Mac Pass Repeater Group using the BrandMeister DMR Network in 2016.
More information on the Digital DMR use can be found on our Digital Website
at DMR Montana. Additionally, we operate an APRS Digi-peater
("BOLDER") at the site operating into a Decibel Products DB-222E
antenna with 3.0Dbd gain.
