Everything had to be taken out of the building, because it will be teared down next week. 70 cm link is not possible because the HB9CF repeater was in the same building.

April 2004 Der Standort Fronalpstock wurde abgebaut. Alles musste aus dem Gebaeude entfernt werden, da dieses naechste Woche abgebrochen wird.

| May 21, 2003 Today a report in "Bote der Urschweiz" tells about a delay in the building project at Fronalpstock. So we hope to keep our site till spring 2004. Until the dismantlement of the existing building we have found another solution to host our repeater.
|
21. Mai 2003 Der "Bote der Urschweiz" berichtet in der heutigen Ausgabe ueber eine Bauverzoegerung auf dem Fronalpstock. Wir hoffen deshalb, bis Fruehling 2004 unseren Repeater vom bestehenden Standort betreiben zu koennen. In der Zwischenzeit wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit den Leuten von HB9CF eine Loesung gefunden, um auch nach dem Abbruch des bestehenden Gebaeudes auf dem Fronalpstock bleiben zu koennen. Hier der Artikel vom "Boten der Urschweiz" |
| March 2003 The HB9HD-TX location has to move in spring 2003 because the building where the TX is hosted will be teared down. We hope that we can return at Fronalpstock in another building which will be built this year. Therfore a spare TX has been installed at Rigi-Scheidegg. We are running some tests. Sometimes both transmitters are on the air now. When the Fronalpstock TX is off the air, we will transmit permanent from Rigi-Scheidegg. The HB9CF repeater can not be moved to Rigi-Scheidegg, therefore there will be no 70cm link after the shutdown. |
Maerz 2003 Der HB9HD TX auf dem Fronalpstock muss umziehen. Das Gebaeude wird im Fruehling 2003 abgerissen Wir hoffen auf den Fronalpstock zurueck- kehren zu koennen in ein neues Gebaeude, welches dieses Jahr gebaut wird. Wir haben deshalb einen Ersatz-TX auf der Rigi-Scheidegg installiert. Zurzeit laeuft der Testbetrieb. Manchmal sind beide Sender gleichzeitig aktiv. Der Ersatzsender wird nach der Abschaltung definitiv den Betrieb aufnehmen. Der HB9CF Repeater kann auf der Rigi-Scheidegg nicht installiert werden. Deshalb wird kein 70cm-Link moeglich sein. |

Our rx-site at Rigi-Scheidegg is unusable. There is
a very strong local QRM. We are not able to fix this.
Therefore the repeater is offline. We will move to another location end of
october if the weather is ok.
If the QRM can be removed one day ... we could switch to deversity operation
with 2 receivers. But for now
it is impossible to receive here a 10 meter signal.
Now only the beacon is online.
May 22, 1999
RX was replaced by HB9LCQ. Strong local QRM. We

Dani HB9WDG has reported a damaged antenna January 31 to us. There was an ice
storm.
We have to replace the antenna. Temperatures should be a higher to do the job.
Many thanks to Dani HB9WDG.
October 1998
Some enhancements at the controller were realised:
Repeater can now be opened with
DTMF8
Monitormode
A short rogerbeep means that the
repeater is in monitor mode. If this mode is active, no tone (1750 Hz or DTMF8)
is
needed to open the repeater. Just transmit.
Normal-mode
If you hear a fast HD in CW as rogerbeep,
then the repeater is in normal-mode.
If there is no signal present for more than 10 seconds the repeater says "QRT"
in CW and closes.
You have to open the repeater with 1750 Hz tone or DTMF 8 or DTMF *8#, whatever
you like.
