Line of sight calculator: In Northern Colorado, many repeaters take advantage of the mountains to gain height. However, when you are close to the foothills like I am, you can be in a shadow.

Colorado Digital. A group of digital amateur radio enthusiasts who experiment with, build, and maintain a system of multiprotocol talkgroups. We bridge together D-STAR, DMR, YSF (C4FM), WIRES-X, NXDN, P25, and other stuff under different talkgroups, helping to make it possible for amateurs to talk to each other no matter what digital mode they are using. We are not a traditional club, though we do have a club callsign (W0CDM).
