About VA6YXH
The VA6YXH ham radio repeater (AllStar 56848) which I own and operate is presently an RF gateway to the Western AllStar to Echolink bridge for the DoDropIn conference (AllStar 62470).
VA6YXH has been on air since April 2022 running 24/7/365 on 444.000 Mhz (+ 5 Mhz, 110.9 Hz tone) in the local area. It is a great hub for science and technology related on air chat.
​
You can listen to VA6YXH anywhere in the world on Broadcastify by searching for DoDropIn AllStar Bridge 62470 and you can hear the live feed with a 30 second delay. Full programming list for this network can be found on the website www.dodropin.info
Hardware
VA6YXH is custom built around 2 Tait TM-8105 UHF radios and a pair of Raspberry Pi 4B's running the HamVoIP software. The duplexer in use is a Sinclair mobile unit. It is designed with range to cover the city of Medicine Hat via RF. It can also be accessed via Repeaterphone and DVSwitch from anywhere in the world with internet access.
​
I provide local amateur radio operators and listeners with the opportunity to hear some really interesting content in the areas of science and astronomy., as well as a variety of other topics.
