This page is currently under development.

Introduction

We're node 8160 operating on 145.540 MHz simplex with PL of 100.0 Hz. Located in Mitchellville, Maryland, USA - about 10 miles east of Washington, DC.

Access is open to all licensed amateurs in our coverage area which is shown below.

Using the node

To make a call to another IRLP node, key the node number of the other IRLP node you want to connect to. For example: 9200 connects to the Indiana Reflector. To disconnect, key 73.

Please always listen for a few minutes before starting to use the node - as we're a simplex node, you may not hear other stations that are in a QSO.

Other commands:

• 0 reports link status

Coverage map

This is a very rough coverage map based on observations running five watts mobile with a 2x5/8 co-linear antenna mounted on the top of my car when we were operating on 440MHz. Now we've moved to 2 metres, coverage should be much better - an up to date map will be put here in a few days.
