CALLSIGN: ECA59:AB5ER-4 -- ECA50:AB5ER-6
SPONSOR: North Central Arkansas Amateur Radio Service (NCAARS)
TRUSTEE: Roger Gray, N5QS
CUSTODIAN: James Wiles, KK5WM
SITE: Prairie County Court House Annex, Des Arc - courtesy of: Prairie County Office Of Emergency Services
EQUIPMENT: MFJ-1270C TNCs, Motorola Micor VHF w/preamp (50 watts), GE Exec II 6m radio (40 watts)
ANTENNAS:
POWER: The equipment is currently running on an Astron power supply with a backup generator on site.
ERECTED: There was a packet node and BBS at this location in the past, but has been off air for sometime. Current network node installed October 2000.
COMMENTS: This site was chosen for its location as a "halfway" point between several other nodes in the network and for its availability. Locally, it should provide excellent coverage into the White County area and serve as a redundancy for Little Rock should their network node fail.
