Re: 147.06

 

Many years ago back in the '80s, I was down in Brownsville for a Texas VHFM Society convention and I set my mobile radios up to crossband the popular 2 m repeater to 223.46 simplex as I only had my 220 handheld with me... Well guess what, the police in Matamoras right across the border use that frequency.. somebody hunted me down and told me what was going on and I had to go turn off the cross band... In fact a 220 repeater that was in Northeast Texas got sold to a police department down in Mexico and the trustee who was a W5 call said yeah I forgot to remove the CWID chip so he laughingly said if you ever hear repeater on my frequency with Spanish and it sounds like a police system, just listen for the ID.. because they probably didn't pull it out ??

Yeah
Repeater wars it was before I got licensed but the legacy of it still lives San Diego has had many problems with co-existing with repeaters up north, I used to get were the original repeater and we have rights to the frequency,
Recently to all that don't know MEXICO has been putting up Business repeaters on the 440-450 section of the band and they can really wipe out some of the US 440 ham repeaters, then the experimental use of the 220 band the spectrum we use is being encroached

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.

Fun times

Sorry to hear about the coordination problems out there. 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.
