Barlow Road Simulcast SystemBands: 2mThe Barlow Road simulcast system contains multiple 2m sites on the same Tx/Rx frequencies. When a user station transmits, the Simulcast system compares input signal quality received at each of the sites, determines which site received the best signal , and routes that signal to all of the repeaters. Each included repeater then transmits that signal simultaneously. 2m - 146.800 MHZ -0.60 MHz offsetCTCSS tone 107.2callsign KJ7IY/RThe simulcast system is constructed on several sites oriented West to East. The sites are all active continuously with no user commands necessary to utilize this frequency.12-25-2022The Barlow Road was a historic overland route that allowed pioneers arriving in Oregon over the Oregon Trail to travel from The Dalles, Oregon around the South side of Mount Hood to Oregon City. Permission was granted for construction by the Oregon Provisional Legislature on December 17, 1845. Construction of the road was done by summer of 1846 and about 75% of immigrants arriving in the Willamette Valley from the East that year traveled the Barlow Road, avoiding the dangerous rafting on the Columbia River required between The Dalles and Fort Vancouver..The WORC has named the new simulcast system after the Barlow Road because the alignment of that historic road runs through the center of the coverage area of the complete simulcast system.These 2m repeaters will be operating stand alone for the majority of each daybut may/will be connected to the WORC local trunk for inclusion in the WORClinked repeater system at the same times as the other 2m repeaters.Barlow Road
