(there are more repeaters than this I think - iirc in 1982 I could hear 166.375R off Strawberry Peak when living at the USC Campus in LA - once heard their helo going to bus crash on I10? at Mtn Pass near the Nevada border - helo might have been bringing up multi repeaters at that time)

Yes, it is still there, actually 2 BLM repeaters up there. One for the California Desert District, Ridgecrest Field Office and one for the Central California District, Bishop Field Office. The Inyo National Forest also has a repeater up there. Did you know that the old historic hotel in the old town (Cerro Gordo) burned down, sometime in the last month? Such a loss! Late Hubby and I drove up to the radio site one time and it was a bit rough and a long drive. Quite a view and well worth the drive. Another time we were with a group from the west side of Sierra and signed up for a tour. We stayed there overnight, across the street in some old employee housing. We had a memorable meal in the hotel.

When I was with BLM in So Cal. LEO mostly on Onxy or Toro. Covered most of So Cal BLM land between those 2 sites.

Also used Ch6 as local standalone repeater for Southern dunes off Black Mtn. Dispatched @ Glames Ranger Station.
