- Subject: A Repeater on 147.555?!?
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- For several years, I've used 147.555 mHz for local FM simplex with a small
- group of friends. Most of the time the frequency was clear of QRM.
-
- But recently a _repeater_ with aparrently high coverage in the Los Angeles
- area has appeared on 147.555, and QRMs our ragchews in Santa Barbara.
-
- This repeater uses 146.535 as an input. Both 147.555 and 146.535 are listed
- as FM simplex frequencies in the ARRL band plan.
-
- This repeater's ID'er uses the callsign of W6FP.
-
- Getting tired of the interference, I got on this repeater, and nicely
- complained to one of it's control operators. He was fairly courteous;
- he invited me to use the repeater, and apologized for the interference,
- but did not offer to resolve the problem.
-
- I informed the control operator that both 146.535 and 147.555 were intended
- for FM simplex, under the ARRL band plan. He stated that several local ARRL
- Official Observers had approved the non-standard repeater frequencies.
-
- Do the "suggested" Band Plans have any meaning any more?! What next: FM
- packet nodes on 144.200 or CW QSOs on repeater inputs?
-
- Yes, all of the conventional 2 meter repeater pairs in Southern California
- are all used up, and repeater-to-repeater interference is common. But does
- every Ham have a right to have his own repeater? With our crowded,
- limited VHF spectrum, I believe we all should use FM simplex or SSB
- whenever possible.
-
- Evidently, the local "co-ordinating" group for 2 meters in California, TASMA,
- is having some organizational problems, and will not currently be of much
- help, or so I'm informed.
-
- Any comments or suggestions? While your area may not currently have such
- problems, it may soon happen, due to the tremendous popularity of the
- No-Code license.
-
- Thanks for reading and 73 from Leigh/KM6JE in Santa Barbara.

- Are the radios for GMRS crystal controlled or what?

- The price rate, abt $100 seems to be a right rate for a 1ch 70cm radio,

- Depends on what you want to do. Sure, repeater FM may seem too routine to
- someone chasing rare DX under lousy propagation, but you may want to rag-
- chew with your friend on the other side of town while mobile. The two
- activities don't interfere with each other, so who cares? I myself
- mostly do packet, recently posted several small picture files of the
- comet hitting Jupiter. A teacher in France said he's going to use those
- picture files in his science class, thanked me for posting 'em.

- Of course FM is real ham radio, we use FM on 10m and 6m and I have had many
- good 'DX' (out of the country) contacts on 10FM.
- Yes repeaters make it 'easy', so what, we use 70cm and 2m here to coordinate
- lots of events, flea markets, swap fests, public service etc. Sure we could
- use SSB or even packet or cw, but the preponderance is cheap FM rigs. Hey
- I have built 3 repeaters, from old commercial rigs, think I learned some
- things about FM, duplexers, tuning, interfacin.. you bet. That's hamming!
-
- Some areas of the country are building amplitude compandered repeaters, good
- for them! Maybe someday some one will ask if AC is 'real' radio.
-
- Congrats on waiting for your ticket..keep asking questions.. I've been a ham
- for 15 years and keep finding neat stuff to do. Like co-founding the local
- club, teaching classes, being a VE, building repeaters and linking them.. is
- that 'real' hamming? The mode AND the license class just don't matter. What
- matters is having fun, learning, trying, experimenting.. without that there
- will be no amateur radio.
-
- ALways keep the fun in ham radio! Don't waste times on politics, code vs
- no code, seek your level and have a blast!

- My guess is that is a material that absorbs the microwave energy better than
- pizza, so it gets hotter on the bottom and browns the pizza.

- As a ham radio flea market "junkie" I am always interested in exchanging

- lack of non-related junk, low prices, nice venue, etc,
-
- My nomination is The Hosstraders Tailgate swapfest held in May and
- October at the Rochester NH Fairgrounds - this time is October 7th and
- 8th. This flea market used to be held at the Deerfield NH Fairgrounds
- for many years (and in fact the event is still referred to as
- "Deerfield") and has consistently been a great place to buy, sell and
- trade electronic stuff. The original Hosstraders, Norm WA1IVB, Joe K1RQG
- and Bob W1WGU are still running the show with all profits going to the
- Shriners Hospital Burns Unit in Boston. Gates open at 9:00 AM on Friday
- October 7th and you'll have to pay $20.00 until 3PM when the admission
- drops to $5.00. The festivities go on well into the wee hours with
- parties, music and lots of fun, stuff and socializing. There are a few
- great parties on site and everybody's welcome. I have attended fleas all
- over the country and the Hosstraders parties are without question the
- best. AM enthusiasts are plentiful and the dean of Yay-em, Tim WA1HLR is
- always in attendance. Go get there take I-95 North to Portsmouth, then
- the (Captain) Spaulding Turnpike (RT-16) to Exit 13 - turn right and
- follow the traffic to the Fairgrounds.
-
- I'd be very interested in hearing about other hamfests, flea markets, etc
- that are good by the same criteria.

- I need some info on the Zia Connection.
- I'm familiar with what the ARRL Repeater Directory says about it,
- but rumor has it that there is a connection to it in Colorado
- Springs (what freq?), and I'm wondering if it extends into San
- Diego, CA (again, what freq, if any?).
- Any info forthcoming will be greatly appreciated.
