Nice site, Don.  Like the layout - I'll be travelling thru Minden next month on way to Tahoe.  I'll be sure to keep an eye on your site.

Thanks Steve!

If you have a 2-meter rig in your car, try the Siera Intermountain Emergency Radio Association (SIERA) club repeater on 147.330 +, PL 123.0. There is also a 440 repeater on 443.750 +, PL 123.0. Both are open repeaters. We also have a website, http://www.siera-amateur-radio.org (I'm the webmaster for it).

Will do, Don.  I think i've been on the UHF one before.  What is the coverage like?  I'll be driving up from June Lake to Tahoe via 395.  Depending on the time of day, I usually take a rest stop at the Minden Airport to stretch my legs.

The 2-meter transmitter is located on Monitor Pass so should have good coverage quite a way south of Topaz Lake. Not sure how far but from Topaz all the way into the Carson Valley coverage is solid. The UHF repeater is strictly for the valley. Not much coverage beyond that although it may reach into South Lake Tahoe.

The Tahoe Amateur Radio Club (TARA) also has a repeater on 147.240 + PL 123.0. Their website is http://tahoeamateurradio.com.

Will monitor the .33 rptr once I get out of range of the Mammoth one.  Thanks, Don.

My wife and I have moved from Minden, Nevada to Emmett, Idaho near Boise. As a result, my weather station is currently off-line. I will be reinstalling the equipment over the next few months and establishing a new weather website for this area here in Emmett. We've only been in our new home for a little over a week now and are surrounded with moving boxes and trying to get settled into our new environment.

My old Carson Valley Weather website (https://carsonvalleyweather.com) no longer shows live Minden area weather data although the external links are still working just fine. I'll eventually take the domain down but decided to leave it up until I can get a new one going here.


I guess I'll also have to drop out of the SW Wx Network and join the NW Wx Network membership once I get back online...

I hope the move went well. Are you going to set up the Blitzortung station at the new location?
