University Mountain Repeater
and Site
The University Mountain repeater
is located at our site about 3 miles East of Missoula, Montana along the
South side of Interstate 90. The site sits at an elevation of 5,366 feet
and has a 63 foot tower. The UHF repeater consists of a UHF Motorola MSF
5000 operating at 110 watts and has an ARR GaAsFET Preamp on the receiver.
It is operating into two Celwave PD-1151 antennas at the top of the tower
and fed with 7/8s heliax. This repeater is intended to cover the Missoula
valley and surrounding areas, along with providing Interstate 90 coverage
from East of Drummond to West of Superior. Coverage is also expected into
the Swan Valley, Hamilton, and the Flathead Valley. This repeater will be
linked into the MacDonald Pass site via Echolink.
