This article will conclude the series on how The Connection relays signals around the state. I hope I have explained the basic workings of the system in a way that gives most of you a better idea of what is going on when you use the system. Last month I finished the explanation of how the signals get to Grand Junction and back. I will now cover the few exceptions to the way the main links work. It listens to 145.31 on it s link radio and feeds the signals to it s 147.075 repeater.
Signals going back just follow that path in reverse.
This is our backup link to the western slope as it can be relayed to the UHF Hub in Eagle County if we wish. The Steam Boat Springs repeater is owned and operated by the Northwest Colorado Amateur Radio Association. They pick up our VHF signal on 146.79 from Breckenridge with their link radio and feed it to the 449.625 UHF repeater. This signal is picked up by the Craig 147.270 repeater owned by the same group. Signals FROM Craig and Steam Boat follow the same path in reverse.
