Re: 147.06

Back in the day (during the later 70's), I was coordinated 147.09 as my
channel pair by SCRA (that should bring back memories to some SoCal
folks) at the top of the Palos Verdes peninsula. My call back then was
WA6EMV (and the repeater call was WR6AKB). Only problem was there was an
existing repeater down in San Diego on that channel, part of the GRONK
group.

As the rf path between the two was mostly over water, they heard my repeater quite well but theirs wasn't so loud up in the South Bay area. So...they set up a TX that sent CW every 10 minutes. It took me a while to decipher its message but here's what was sent: _...? _ _? .? _._? ._._? _.. ._.. Quite clever actually. Anyway, the SCRA re coordinated me to the first "tertiary split" in SoCal - 146.745 in., 146.145 out. And there is stayed until I left for Maui in 1989.

So Cal has its problems with things like a member of our local repeater coordination team hosting an uncoordinated repeater at his own house, part of a huge linked system that jammed out another local coordinated repeater with endless traffic for several years. When it first went on air it was not even in repeat mode, it just transmitted all the traffic from the internet connected linked system just to jam the other coordinated repeater. |
