I have an interesting story to tell about that Virgin Islands repeater on
ten meters. I have a friend, whome we call Joe. That's not his real name! He
used to get on that repeater all the time. You see, Joe was a technician. We
all know that generals and up are allowed there, not technicians.
One day, while my friend, Joe, was on that repeater, his phone rang. The
call was from a next door neighbor. "Hey, Joe", the neighbor asked, "what is
that truck with all the antennas on it doing parked in front of your house?"
Yup! It was our friends from the fcc. Joe gota slap on the wrist from the
policemen of the airwaves! We all got a laugh out of it. All of us that is,
except for "joe". 73 to all

I will admit we had a link to it on one of our UHF machines. 70 Watts into
4 elements pointed right
at the thing. Was the only way we could overcome the noise floor on 29.56

Hi
Is the virgin island repeater still going? It used to be on 29.6, and
it was so strong in
Kansas that I would listen to it on my scanner with an in door antenna.
That was before I became a
Ham in 1989. Smile. Good memories.
God bless,
Mark WZ0K and my beautiful wife Noella
God loves You!

That is an interesting list you found, Howard. I may point out that in
looking through it they are
a bit out of date. I am not too much of an expert but the first thing I
noticed was they have a
repeater listed in Sioux City, Iowa. That repeater hasn't been in service
since the early nineties
and most of the hardware from it is part of our system. Next, there are two
in West Virginia listed
on 29.670 that are not in the repeater listings for the past year or two.
It really is a nice list
though to show just how much is really out there. It is also a good show of
how much of the efforts
have been focused on two or three frequencies.
I am trying to remember the name of an iphone ap that does have a fairly
current list on it. I also
recall seeing a list on the web somewhere too that is fairly current but I
can't find which one it
was. I will post both when I come up with them.

Thanks, Howard.
I'll take a look to see what I can find.
Will certainly be fun to try some of these repeaters with the TS590 on some
cold winter week-end
afternoon when there is not an interesting contest going on.
I will first have to read up on how to do off-sets and especially CTSS tones
with the TS590, though.
