CBC-FORTUNE-R1

At the CBC Transmission tower

Location: 400 Dunlop Rd, Chelsea, Quebec J9B 2N3
Type: PoE-powered, with generator backup, high-elevation mountain repeater
Role: City-wide Backbone Repeater
Antenna: Seeed Studio 902–928 MHz 8 dBi
Height: 15 m AGL, on the highest point in the National Capital Region on the roof structure of the tower two-storey building.

Notes:

Hears almost every repeater in the city and carries more traffic than any other node on the mesh
Built entirely from high-end parts to cope with the level of FM broadcast energy at the site
Current build is a Station G3 at 1 W behind a Baymesh filter, PoE powered, with a Raspberry Pi in the enclosure for remote management
The first build used a solar Ikoka; its MCU kept restarting, which we attribute to RF interference at the site
