I'm working on a list of repeaters for when I make the trek up North to Seattle next month.

What guys do you recommend for repeaters on 2 meters and 440? I got 900 mhz covered there, but I would I like some good machines to program in.

Mike and Key repeater is where I hang out most of the time ... friendly bunch there. PSRG is also popular I dont know of any "mid day repeaters" other then the trucker ones. The rest I listen to I don't normally partake in I am fond of N7SNO but not much activity there.

my 2 cents.

Plenty of repears. Just a couple with great coverage you might want to tune.

147.08 (103.5)
145.33 (179.9)
444.65 (131.8)

147.380-->145.330
Spokane to Seattle.
Talked w/ TMF couple weeks ago via HT.

Yup, has been awhile since verified... The 145.170 in Bremerton, linked to 224.26, well, they have not existed (at least in Bremerton:) for over a decade. 146.700 is only accessible with a DCS code... John Marchinko (WR7JM, the owner) did that because he (and the rest of the users) got tired of all the NTS traffic being handled there... and that's all I know about at the moment. I generally avoid repeaters at all costs unless it is the only way to "gitter done"... My home QTH simplex coverage is as good as or better than some of the repeaters mentioned :mrgreen:

_________________
That is how the people at DARPA think. they take things and use them in unconventional ways, to see what happens.

Well, I also have my 220mhz list (mainly Western WA), and a 50mhz list (not well updated, since I'm not as active on 50mhz anymore).

I also have the SW WA/NW Oregon sections of those spreadsheets - mainly for the BeachNet system and the Astoria area (for when I go that way for the Seaside Hamfest). There's also an eastern WA section, but I can't verify that stuff nearly as easily.

And yes - simplex is the way to go, when practical. But, repeaters are a necessary and welcomed resource to cover a wide area, or to help portables be a more practical communications resource. They both have their place, certainly.

I try to keep my radios pre-programmed. When I want to travel to an area, I generally want that stuff ready to go - not figuring it out on the fly. Especially with the widespread use of CTCSS for access, knowing that stuff ahead of time (and trying to verify it) really saves some heartache once you get to an area.

So, if there are any repeater owner/operators that lurk in this forum - I thank you for maintaining your system. And the same thanks goes to the various clubs and organizations that support repeaters. It's often thankless, and sometimes done at GREAT expense. And fortunately - it's done for the greater good of the amateur community.

Would you please share your 220mhz & 50 mhz list with us? TNX 73
