444.225 is a 70 cm "hamer" frequency; 145.410 is a 2 meter "hamer" frequency, so they are 2 different things.

I know I was Wondering if it (444.225) would replace (145.410) as the main WX5OKC
Channel??

It's good to see some have not forgotten the "OK hamer" remarks.

 

[car2back]

so is skywarn in Oklahoma County going to a UHF frequency?

 

[fireant]

As far as I know there are no plans to replace the 145.410 Skywarn frequency. The UHF frequency is just another way the NWS has to get reports from spotters in the field whom may not have a VHF radio.

PB as No problem with ham When I mean or use the word Hamer I am talking about people that use it like a C.B. or a cell phone I love WX5OKC I like listing to WX5OUN Just I hate the "I found my wife in that motel again" or "honey what time will you be home" use like a police, fire, or E.M.S. radio that all I am saying..

Let me get this straight, you have no problems with ham radio as long as it's not used as ham radio? While public service is a significant part of amateur radio, that is not it's primary purpose.

BTW, what is it with 145.410? I noticed last Sunday on my way back from Texas that from many places along I-35 I couldn't hit the machine, even when using my 100w Moto mobile. Probably ought to email Putnam, but figured I'd ask here as long as the topic was up.

I have been noticing the coverage lately on the repeater has not been as good. I was wondering the same if something was wrong. I have not tried hitting the repeater from my mobile but the reception was terrible and normally have no problems hearing them any where I travel too.

So hams should only engage in the dispatching of emergency services? That's not actually legal, see Part 97.113(a)(5).

I tell ya what PolarBear, if you can pass the "hamer" test and get your license, you will then have the power to talk on the "hamer" radio however you see fit...within the rules and regs of course.

A big advantage of operating on the "hamer" bands is to ACTUALLY BE INFORMAL, and ON PURPOSE! Imagine that. I know, that's a wild concept but it's true.
