For Amateur Radio Operators Attending CMP

[1094Jacob]

If you are an amateur radio operator attending Championships, don't forget to bring your radio! (Even if it's a Baofeng) There are plenty of repeaters to talk on or listen to in the St. Louis area.

This year, I have created repeater frequency files for the CHIRP Radio Programming Software. These are all attached to my post in a ZIP file. One CSV file is for mobile or base radios, it includes repeaters within about a 40mi radius of The Dome. Another is for handheld radios, it includes mostly local and wide-area coverage repeaters. Finally, if your have an Icom radio with DSTAR capability, there is a CSV file included with DSAR repeaters.

What if you don't use the CHIRP programming software? You can still open the CSV file in Excel or any other popular spreadsheet program and manually program the frequencies and PL tones into your ham radio.

What are the most active repeaters around the Edward Jones Dome? The three most active repeaters are the W9AIU 146.760- (141.3pl), the WB0QXW 145.210- (123.0pl), and the W0SRC 146.850- (141.3pl).

Please reply to this thread or PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks for the repeater lists. That saved me some digging. I spread the word about your lists on a local net tonight in case some folks aren't watching CD.

I will bring the Baofeng, just to make sure that base is covered. :D
