New CAUHF "Porta-Peater" has been deployed in Malvern, Arkansas

The new CAUHF "Porta-Peater" has been deployed in Malvern, Arkansas as 442.225. We could not wait for the permanent machine to be completed because we were anxious to put something on K5RQO’s newly erected 125’ tower. 442.225 is permanently linked to CAUHF’s 443.200 machine in Little Rock.

On Thursday, November 2nd, Charles, Tem N5KWL, Gene K3IC and Ron K5POG hauled the “Porta-Peater” to Malvern in the back of a pick-up truck.

Tem N5KWL had previously installed the equipment from the former 444.850 machine in a 4' rack complete with wheels—and thus the “Porta-Peater” was born and appropriately named by Charlie KD5OCQ. It has been temporarily re-tuned to 442.225 mHz for the Malvern project while a permanent machine is being built. Pictures of the “Porta-Peater” and K5RQO’s tower can be seen on the Flicker string on the right side of this page. Matt KE5HLH and Joe N5IOZ also stopped by and helped out with the project.
