Coloma 147.105 (123.0)

The Coloma WE9COM repeater is located near Coloma, Wisconsin in SW Waushara County. The system utilizes a

Motorola MTR-3000 running a transmit power of 100 watts to an RFI BA80-41 antenna mounted at 360’ (base 1180’). 

The two port controller is a CAT-250 and the IP interface is a JPS ARA-1. The system includes emergency

backup power utilizing both batteries and an on-site UPS.

We are grateful to Waushara County Sherriff Department for supporting WeComm, Ltd. by allowing us to use

one of their towers and building space. The wide-coverage system includes  Waushara, Marquette,

Green Lake, Adams, Juneau, and portions of Fond du Lac, Dodge, Columbia, Sauk, Monroe,

Jackson, Clark, Wood, Portage, Marathon, Waupaca, Outagamie, and Winnebago counties.

The photos show the tower and the antenna while it’s being lifted into position.

Assembly photos were taken at Kyle KC9SDK QTH when he lived in the Fox Valley.

Thanks to his family for allowing us the space to build up the repeater cabinet and tune the duplexer.

The system went on air May 20, 2016.
