i have a hard copy of that book some burned out ham gave me a few years ago. he never goes anywhere so really does not a nation wide book. he cut out the local pages and gave me the rest. maybe will bring it with.
146.880 (Minus shift, 74.4 PL encode/decode) is very active and will be the talk-in repeater for the event. Otherwise, the KG4MRA repeater I mentioned above (Minus shift, 74.4 PL encode/decode but also mixed mode P25 with a NAC of $293) and the RATS UHF repeater on 442.550 (74.4 PL encode/decode) are active.
this is the type of REAL information i was looking for. thanks. i will program these in and catch you when i get close on saturday. how much are tickets this year?
YES, it would be good for the new ham to meet up with hams in richmond. also, thanks for proving specific freqs for the local repeaters there to this ham and myself. just telling him/me to use repeater book is not the most helpful information. i am a seasoned ham and now how to use repeater book, but it is useful to have a local ham provide information about what the "main" or widely used repeaters are to hone down the list to a manageable few. nice that some like yourself try to be TRULY helpful. thanks again for the repeater information. MOST helpful. hams should be helpful to one another, otherwise the hobby will become dead in the water.
hey Mark. best of luck on getting your ham ticket. i recommend studying for the general right away after you complete the technician. gives you much more freq on hf bands so you are not limited to repeaters and things like irlp and echolink. best of luck!
i saw something on the web site of a meet and great the night before. i prob wont go up til morning if i go as coming 75 miles. but, if i were there locally i would attend the friday night meet and greet. i am assuming it is ALL outside at the race track? i have never been to this one. or, is some indoors?
