Ham radio in northeastern Wisconsin got a bit more useful and fun recently with the introduction of a new linked repeater. Green Bay already had repeaters linked in various ways. One Green Bay repeater on 147.270 – it is linked to the Wabeno, WI repeater. Other links involved IRLP and Echolink. This new linked repeater is a bit more powerful however. The new Green Bay, WI repeater at 443.400 (with a P/L tone of 100.0) is linked to the Wisconsin Interstate Network. The network has a series of linked repeater scattered across Wisconsin and into Minnesota. Here’s a list courtesy of http://www.winetwork.org/repeaterguide.htm :

Being a linked repeater system you need to key the mike and wait for at least one second before speaking or part of your transmission will be lost.
The repeater network is linked into the EchoLink system as node number 18006. So, you can listen to ham radio traffic via your computer or via your ham radio via any EchoLink repeater anywhere in the world.
Linked repeater systems are nice for those that want to talk long distances via a HT or mobile. However, for those with scanners they can be a bit annoying. Why? If you’re not interested in traffic from people you don’t know then having your scanner stop on this frequency for an extended period can be annoying.
Stay radio active!
