UHF & VHF Station Information

General

Two VHF transceivers round out the modest station. One is used for FM voice while the other is dedicated as a 1200baud packet digipeater on 145.010 MHz.

The two ham repeaters on the island are open and enjoy nearly island-wide coverage:
 

  • 146.910MHz, -600KHz input: The main repeater is located at Sturges a stone's throw from the Harrison's Cave, a major tourist attraction on the island. It is hosted at the transmitter site of the Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation which runs the country's only Television station.
     
  • 145.310MHz, -600KHz input: The secondary repeater is linked to another repeater in Grenada providing extensive coverage to the islands of St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago and if conditions are good, to Venezeula and as far south as Brazil. This repeater is located at Mount Misery, a microwave site of Cable & Wireless, who are the sole international telecommunications providers on the island.
     
  • Coming soon!! We are in the process of implementing a major UHF link to the island of Domi which when complete will provide VHF coverage through a series of linked repeaters and UHF hubs from Antigua in the north to Trinidad & Tobago in the south.
