441.125+, pl tone is 123.0. I don't know who owns it but it's up on Stampede Pass I believe so covers a real nice area on both sides of snoqualmie pass.

Thx. My only 440 rig (Yaesu FT-50) won't fire up.
Power button failure.

That is a common problem with the FT50R. The button is rubber with conductive ink painted on the backside. Guess what happens when the ink wears off. Been there, done that.

I've tried the 'foil' fix, doesn't work.
The radio was great 'til it failed to fire.
How's your big animals? Three alfalfa cuttings up here this season.

Animals are doing great. Hope the alfalfa harvest is big this year. Too expensive down here.

Alf/grass about $100/ton here.
Plus they're still munching the ground now.

146.7200- RITZVILLE

Any ideas if tones are used? I may be in that area this weekend unless there is a better machine for that area.

Thanks. I hope to be between Pasco and Ritzville watching trains and picking up a semaphore in Washtucna.

There was one or two on Rattlesnake that covered well too.

Yeah I think the 5.41 out of Kennewick works ok up there and KBARA might be an option once I get east of 395.

Besides the one on Stampede Pass, here is the rest of the locations of the system repeaters;

441.1250+ 123.0 BOTHELLView Details. King WB0CZA OPEN
441.1250+ 123.0 ISSAQUAH, West Tiger MtnView Details. King WB0CZA OPEN
441.1250+ 123.0 SEQUIM, Maynard PeakView Details. Clallam WB0CZA OPEN
441.1250+ 123.0 TACOMAView Details. Pierce WB0CZA OPEN

The one on Stampede, as of Friday, is still down and has been for several weeks but when it's working, I have gotten into it as far east as Ryegrass. I heard him back in August, say that he wanted to do some upgrades to the system and move the rptr off of West Tiger but I do not know if he has started on that or not.

Wow, I had no idea it was in so many places. Surprised there's not more interference with each other. I'm almost certainly hitting west tiger from where I am.

In that area, you shouldn't have any problems getting into KBARA on either the 146.740 on Kamiak Butte near Colfax or possibly the 147.280 on Pikes Peak near Walla Walla.

Kamiak 223.0 hz?
