Maurice:

The ARRL repeater directory CD can be purchased directly on line through the 
league.  It is called ARRL Travel Plus.


go to:

www.arrl.org

and do a search for the CD info, and you should be all set.

I'm sure they'd be happy to take an order over the phone as well.

Hello first of all, I have been able to work 449450 from downtown with both 
a BX8, and that somewhat talking Chinese HT. Audio quality between the two 
radios worked out very well in either case. You know I live in Northern 
Colorado I was able to do this while traveling through downtown. Now my 
question is how does one go about getting the 80 RRL repeater directory on 
the CD question I am of course just curious. I am maybe going to see a lot 
of my family, they all live in Southern California. In particular they live 
in the Pasadena area. I'm told that there are some repeaters that are not 
family friendly. I just don't know how it is that the FCC can allow any 
piece of equipment that doesn't follow rules, and good taste. I have young 
nieces. I would most certainly not want them to hear anything like what I've 
been told this particular repeater house on it. Bye for now.
