Yes, Jim I have read that book and because of the discussion you and Phil
had about it on this list. Hope to catch you on the air.
Bob

Bob, for what it's worth, I just programmed your machine in my
TS590 tone and all I hope.  Can't key it up now, but will listen there from
time to time to see if I can hear you guys.  Because you are from Des
Moinse, thought I'd ask you if you ever read a book about a kid growing up
there called, Life and Times of the Thunderboalt Kid by Bill Bryson.  I have
read a number of his books and highly recommend him.  73, Jim

The repeater on 29.64 that I have heard is in Houston.  29.670 is KD0WPK Des
Moines, IA.  I happen to be the President of the Iowa Ten Meter Group that
owns that machine.  It is the only ten meter repeater that has IRLP, node
7652,.  Incidentally, it does have a tone of 103.5.

Matt, I have a number of 10 meter repeaters in my TS590.  They are all 100
KHZ split with the inputs 100 KHZ below the outputs which are on 29.62, .64,
.66, and .68.  While repeater information scecifies use of PL tones on them,
I have never used them because of phase distortion and have opened repeaters
from my CA.  QTH on all of those frequencies.  The most common ones I have
hit are 29.62 in New York and 29.66 in Dallas Texas.  I just hit some
repeater on 29.64 but it's very weak so can't tell where it is.  
I have
heard there are 10 meter repeaters on other frequencies within the 29.6 29.7
window but have never found any.
Additionally, 29.6 is the 10 meter FM simplex call frequency with
29.5 an alternate.   73, Jim WA6EKS.

Hi, Folks.  Am using the HandiHam system/remote base until my antenna's up.
Are there many 10-meter repeaters, and what's the split?

Also, what kind of luck have folks had in terms of operating on six meters
in any mode?  Thanks in advance.--Matt, N1IBB.

P.S.  Made my first phone contact via the HandiHam remote base on 14.240.
Spoke with KD8ZWI.  Nice to do phone on HF!
