Ares Edmonton called me to activate canwarn for our area. toward the end of the time Canwarn net control did a test with a cross band repeater between rocky and Edmonton. They would like to know if it is possible to have us activate a link between QE network and the Sara Network for such cases as tonight. [/html]

Gary,
This is something that I have practiced with in the past and had good results between the SARA hub in Edmonton and a simplex Echolink node to link us into Lloydminster. However when I tried it on the Canwarn activation between VE6VHF and the SARA Hub in Edmonton, the short kerchunk from the SARA hubs would keep the crossband repeat in a back and forth cycle without an opportunity for anyone to jump in. That evening I had good conditions to VHF and PZ so I wanted to try it from here first. It could just be my FT8100 for some reason. It almost seemed like the very short kerchunk from the SARA backbone did not occur until a msec after the conversation dropped. Any thoughts? I have to spend more time experimenting to see what works and what doesn't. I always felt that this would easily and should work as a way of providing a temporary link from a non-SARA repeater into the system.

A temporary link between VE6QE and SARA could easily be put up for an event like CANWARN by any cross band radio. Use the VHF side of VE6QE and the UHF side of SARA as there is no squelch tail on the SARA UHF of 443.575
