The South Bend site is on Holy Cross Mountain, NW across the Willapa River from South Bend and SW from Raymond. The repeaters normally operate tied together and linked to BeachNet. It is possible to "split" them and operate the two machines independently. 

The UHF side is a GE MASTR-II base station chassis with a continuous duty power amplifier, housed in a 30-inch cabinet with Wacom BpBr duplexer. The UHF repeater runs 60-watts ERP.

The VHF station comprises a GE MASTR-II 40-watt continuous duty station in its own cabinet, along with the power supply, controller, and control receiver. There is a Sinclair VHF duplexer standing next to the repeater. The VHF station runs 25-watts ERP.

These two stations couple through a diplexer to share a Hustler G6-270 dual band 6dB antenna at about 80-feet up the tower (just above the lowest cluster of microwave dishes) through 120 feet of Times LMR-600.

A GE Mastr-II mobile transceiver running about 5-watts links the station to the rest of the network using a 10.5 dB yagi antenna mounted on the roof of the equipment building.

There is also a packet radio node "HOLYX", and a mailbox "HOLYMB" co-located but a separate station. Most Amateur packet stations in Pacific County can reach this node.
