It would be best to post repeaters that are actually on the air. There are many "paper" repeaters listed online. We should also just list the offset as + or - unless it's an oddball split. For those who don't know, the standard offsets are .600 for 2 meters and 5mhz for 440.



Ok, me 1st

This is about the most comprehensive list that I use. It has two meter, six meter, 220 and 440 repeaters.

The problem with "bulk" lists online is the incorrect info. There are a ton of the "Charlotte" repeaters that are in the middle of Gaston county. Lets try to stick with what is "confirmed" & "correct"

if you want CURRENT and CORRECT repeater listings on NC ( and all SE USA) go to the Gold Standard of Information :

S E R A Repeater Journal (SouthEasternRepeaterAssociation)

repeater listings...articles...all hamfest info/ads....only $10 a year.

(SERA is also the official regional repeater coordinator)

SERA Journal is a MUST for serious users....

If only they were up to date, but they are not. Hence the reason to start this thread. I've been working too much to do any updating lately, but I'm working on the rest of the currently operating (and usable) repeaters in my area.

Repeater data often takes a long time to be update in the Repeater Journal. My former repeater is (224.74) is still listed in Norfolk VA. It's been in Chesapeake VA for several years now with a new owner/call. I've been trying to get the info changed for that long. Of course, because the ARRL Directory gets its information from the SERA states from SERA itself the same outdated info gets passed along.

Is the 147.390 repeater in Waynesville a closed repeater system? I saw it listed on a website saying it was closed.

Where did you see that? I see that the autopatch is closed, but nothing that mentioned that the repeater itself is closed. The PL is listed as 91.5.

Will be traveling to Charlotte during the week of July 7 to 13. Which 144 and 440 repeaters are open to us non club members? Are there any IRLP nodes in the area? Thank you for your kind assistance.
