K0EC is the club call of the Eagle County Ham Operators, Inc.
Eagle county is located 100-150 miles west of Denver, CO, USA on
I-70. It is probably best known for the ski areas of Vail and
Beaver Creek. We have two repeators at 11250 feet ASL on Vail
mountain. 146.610 MHz with a minus offset and PL of 107.2 and
449.900 Mhz with a minus offset and 107.2 PL.
On July 12, 2003 we installed the K0EC/B 6m beacon at the site
of the 449.900 MHz repeator. It is transmitting on 50.0677 MHz
zero beat with a power of 45-50 watts from 11,250 ft ASL on Vail
Mtn near the top of China Bowl. Grid square is DM69 very close
to the center of Colorado.
The 3 beacon antennas were obtained from Steve Bozak, WB2IQU, of
Bozak Antennas. One is vertically mounted at the 60 ft level and
two are horizontally mounted just below this spaced 9 feet apart
to give some gain in the east west direction and to keep the
radiation angle below 30 degrees. See picture here on QRZ
showing Dave, AA0RS above, and Larry, K0CL, below installing the
three antennas on the 150 ft tower. These guys were great in
dealing with a tower that is diffficult to climb and work on.
Thanks to George, W1XE/0 for building the beacon and the
brackets for mounting the Bozak antennas. Reception reports are
welcome via Phil, N0KE, the club trustee.
