From Algonquin ARC QRZ Newsletter, April 2025:
The project to deploy a Winlink node at our Marlborough repeater site was completed this past month. George, N1ABC, led the project that was sponsored jointly by the Algonquin Amateur Radio Club and the Marlborough Emergency Management Agency. The Winlink system provides message forwarding communications via radio worldwide. It is an integral part of our amateur radio traffic system that supports our regional Emergency Management services. This new node provides coverage to the western Middlesex county and eastern Worcester county areas.
The node is located at our N1EM/R repeater location on the Sligo Hill water tower.
Frequency: 145.090 MHz
Call: N1ABC10
The AARC provided the funding for the Motorola radio, modem and internet hardware. Marlborough Emergency Management provided the antenna, feedline and their installation. Thanks to the Minuteman Repeater Association for providing the internet access. Also thanks to Stu, W1SHS, for his help understanding the software, Roger, WA1NVC, for the help with the radio programming, and Ron, N1CNG, for help with the equipment installation.
