RE: [Repeater-Builder] low band repeater

[W9DHI]

I currently have a 6 meter repeater on the air, we also have a 10 meter but it's not currently up.  The 10 meter was split site using a UHF link but the 6 meter we have up is using duplexors.  It is a MastrII and works very well with a 1 meg split (53.03 out, 52.03 in), we modified a 46 meg loop antenna (DB products) and built a new phasing harness and it works very nice.  It's about 180' up the tower face of a 260' tower so we do have some pattern distortion as the antennas are leg mounted.  At the same site we have 444.850/449.850 running a 1/4 K and the that antenna is top mounted.  The coverage is a little better on 440 without any pattern distortion, but otherwise the coverage is equal.  However in low spots where there is shading and the UHF doesn't work, the Lowband does and there are situations that are the complete opposite where the UHF works and the VHF doesn't .  What more can I tell you.     Gregg R.
