The W9JOL Repeater is operated by Chris Tarr (W9JOL), Robert Deglau (N9LKF), Tony Abfalter (K0VSC), and Alan Kirshbom (KC9HJW). There are no dues or club memberships necessary to use the repeater - it is open to all licensed amateurs.
The W9JOL Repeater operates at 225 feet on tower one of the five tower 1250AM array in Hales Corners. The repeater cabinet itself is located in a climate-controlled building with emergency power and high-speed DSL.
While we are still working on the finishing touches, we will eventually have IRLP and Echolink capabilities, as well as a switchable link to the K0VSC repeater in Baraboo, WI.
The techincal operations of the repeater are handled by W9JOL and N9LKF, both broadcast Engineers. The goal is to provide the Amateur community a reliable communication system combined with technical innovation. We plan to continually upgrade the hardware and features as time and funds allow. We look at this as not only a learning experience for us, but a way to give back to the Amateur Community.
