[NLRS] Active TC Metro Repeaters for 2m/70cm?

[David Donaldson]

Steven:
 
...I'd also recommend 145.45 (no PL).  It's connected to the Handihams Echolink feed and has various nets throughout the week.  Also, 146.85 (No PL) is another wide area repeater. I spend most of my time on 222MHZ so you won't hear me much on 2m. I  don't frequent 70cm either.
