![]() ![]() Researchers have recorded 23 species of warblers alone here. It is on a bird “superhighway,” a route heavily traveled by birds that migrate between Canada and South America. Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park, our partner, is based near the tip of Schoodic Point, feet away from the crashing surf.Īcadia is home to a stunning diversity of wildlife. The granite mountains and craggy coasts of the islands that make up Acadia are famous for their beauty and their wildlife. As I got closer to Pendelton, the signal improved and once I got a bit past there I had good signal pretty much all the way back to I82 and into WA.Help researchers add to over 120 years of data, revealing how our reliance on fossils fuels is affecting one of America’s most beautiful places. ![]() Traveling west back down the mountain, I was able to pick up the ragchew on the repeater until about the base of the hill when it became really rough. It works because this spot is around 3300ft and the repeater is at 6300ft so it gets over the curvature of the earth. I was able to access and talk on the repeater from this location, full quieting. The reason I planned on making this stop was because of the GMRS repeater in the OP. There is a access road on the west bound rest area that goes up the mountain a bit and I believe it ends up at another exit west of the rest area, but I didnt fully explore it. This is a short ways away from the Deadman's pass rest area off I84 in Oregon. I drove down to Las Vegas to spend time with family over Christmas/New Years and on the way back I planned on making this stop. Well, actually this was a few weeks ago, but I just got around to posting it. Time for another mountain view and radio equipment! We got everything that needed looked at fixed and repaired so with any luck we wont have to break out the snowcat this winter. We had a quick BBQ lunch and chatted for a bit before heading back down about 1400. Once that was rectifed it ran and even powered the building for about 30 minutes. ![]() The confusion arose because the panel on the gen does not have a light for low water, so it lights the auxillary fault light giving you no information on what may have caused it. Ive been told it existed in this condition for at least the past 4 years. The water level was low in the radiator and a level sensor was tripping it out. Would fault and shut down after only 30 seconds. We then fixed a couple of the heaters in the building, and hopefully they will keep it above freezing.Īlso checked out the JD powered Kohler generator that was in the building for backup power. I put in a Motorola MTR2000 40W repeater I had put a great deal of work into this week on short notice to get a external controller adapted to it and it works great. Turned out to be a great day on the mountain, sunny and just a breeze to deal with, temperatures right at freezing. The Vertex VXR 7000 we had running on GMRS 22 had developed a intermittent problem hearing and now is getting pretty close to the end of being able to get up here without snowmobiles. Left this morning just after 0800 with another member of our GMRS group in his Jeep to make the 2.5 hour trip up to a mountain top repeater site. ![]()
