This site hosts Talk Group 700 (Rocky Mountain Wide) on Timeslot 1 and Talk Groups 718 (SouthEast) and 719 (South) on Timeslot 2.
The La Junta, CO site is located at Airbase Hill (also known by the locals as the “Boys Ranch Hill”) near the La Junta Airport. RMHAM operates a low power “spot fill” repeater at this location. Power output is 30W and the antenna is mounted low on the south side of the tower to focus on filling the the Arkansas River Valley directly around La Junta. As can be seen in the coverage plot, coverage is approximately a 20 mile radius of the site.
If you are looking for coverage outside this area, try our Cedarwood site to the west, Karval to the north, or the upcoming Deora site to the east.
Updates:
2025-04-12 – With the efforts of RMHAM members W0VG and K0RPC along with members of the La Junta Club (N0AVH) including K9TOB, K2KLC and KB0OBZ the repeater is on air and operational. Many thanks to everyone for making this possible!
