CAREN Upgrades Phone Patch Repeater: Central Arkansas’ Only Landline Connection Resumes Operation
By Danny Straessle, KE5WLR - District A Public Information Officer
Continuing an established tradition of service to the statewide Amateur Radio community, the Central Arkansas Radio Emergency Net (CAREN Club) has recently completed upgrades to the organization’s phone patch repeater in Little Rock.
Constructed years before the advent of cellular telephones, the phone patch repeater has been in operation since the late 1960s and located high above the historic Pulaski Heights neighborhood since 1980 on an elevated storage tank owned and operated by Central Arkansas Water. Upgrades including a new antenna and controller were made while the repeater was off-air as Central Arkansas Water sandblasted & re-painted its half-million-gallon tank. The antenna mount is at an elevation of approximately 740 feet above sea level.
