I am Mike, WB6WUI and have been an active ham since 1972.

 I relocated to Mazama, WA after living in California since 1954.  I live in a small community of 150 people (large by local standards) about 14 miles east of of the town of Winthrop (pop 350), closer to the smaller community of Mazama (pop 100).  Mazama no longer has a post office, so my home address is uses the Winthrop zipcode.

I currently operate 3 repeaters at low level sites in the Methow Valley.  I have a MotoTRBO digital repeater, with IPSC linking to 6 or more repeaters, 3 of which are linked to repeaters in Southern California where many of my Ham friends live.  I also have a repeater on 449.850 which covers that "last mile" to the eastern slopes of the North Cascade Hwy (20).  Lastly, I have a GMRS repeater that operates on the Travelers channel (462.675).  There are a few miscellaneous RF links that fill in some of the coverage up and down the Methow Valley.  That is an ongoing challenge and project.

I monitor 52.525, 146.52 and 446.00 simplex from the shack and/or remote base.  The TRBO repeater is linked into the analog system.  Ultimately, I hope to have back-to-back VHF and UHF repeaters located on a higher level site and will then remotely link the rest of the stuff to my home.  Maybe next year.  :-)
