Recommended 2M repeaters for Bay Area to Phoenix trip

[amoking]

Hi All. Driving down to AZ from the Bay Area soon. I usually just hang out on 146.52 but figured I'd try new things this time. I looked at RFinder and RepeaterBook on my RT software but the import was extensive. Can anyone recommend some good (monitored, chatty) repeaters on I-5, I-210 and I-10? Save for W6HAM which is always interesting.

W6NUT is by far the most interesting, amusing, and exhibits the most freedom. Coverage from about I5/134 out to Ontario ish.

The "chattiness" can vary, but you generally won't be left hanging.

Most of the NUT users have moved over to K9KAO 449.500 on Sunset Ridge.

The Papa System is great for wide area coverage. Linked FM, DMR, D-Star, and P25. If you're looking for interesting, it might not be interesting in that regard, but good people and good conversation.
