What, who needs another 2 Meter repeater in COS?
There are about 5 unused FM repeaters on 2 Meters right now and about 10 unused FM repeaters on 440 MHz.
Well, We could us an AM repeater. The low power Gonset Communicators and Heathkits have a little trouble getting around the city so a repeater would really help the activity of AM in COS grow.
If you live on a hill and have the desire to build a new AM repeater, here is your chance...
The Input frequency would be nice if it was on the current AM simplex frequency, 145.55 or some other frequency later. Many of the 2 meter rigs are crystal controlled so if some other input frequency is used there would be a lot of crystal grinding necessary.
The repeater frequencies need to be coordinated with the Colorado Repeater Frequency Coordination group https://ccarc.net/coordination-tool-instructions/ .
ps: Gonset Communicators are Rad Hard, They make a great backup for NORAD.
