The storms that hit Corsica in november/december 2019 didn't leave any survival chance to our setup !
Many trees are broken and fell on the road, even very large and old ones.
All antennas suffered. The yagi boom bent, 2 elements are broken and flew about 50 meters away, the 40/80m dipole was ripped off.
Half of the weather station is broken and was found in the bush. The anemometer exploded and the weather vane is broken...
In short, there is work in prospect ...

Our local UHF repeater TK5ZCG is now linked on out TKNet network. This repeater has been rebuild and uses now 2 commercial mobile radio PRM830 and a Kathrein duplexer, all retuned into the 70cm band.
The UHF repeater has been connected on TKNet on dec 6th 2016. The first tests are quite promising, but it seems that the antenna does not tilt down enough to cover the Ajaccio bay in good conditions. Both this repeater and the VHF repeater TK5ZCF are now linked through TKNEt and to Echolink (TK5KP-R)
Both repeaters need a CTSS of 88.5 Hz and are also transmitting the same CTCSS, so you can avoid local noise.
Here is a simulation of the coverage of TK5ZCG UHF repeater.
Here the details for both repeaters in the Ajaccio aera:
| TK5ZCG TX 430.150 MHz RX 439.550 MHz shift +9,4 MHz CTCSS 88.5 Hz Puissance 10 W Locator JN41JS |
TK5ZCF TX 145.6375 MHz RX 145.0375 MHz Shift -0,6 MHz CTCSS 88.5 Hz Puissance 15 W Locator JN41IW |

Our Web page has been hacked last week ! We were still using and old 2.5 Joomla! version that was not supported anymore since dec. 2014... The hackers certainly used a security hole to hack our site. The site was only displaying a blank page. Fortunately, i'm making regular backups and started a few months ago to convert the site into the latest Joomla! version. So it didn"t took me to long to bring the site back online. There are still some things to do, though. In particular, the language translations... |
