Contacting Through Keller Pk

[OU812]

Thanks! I needed something that I could remember easily.
Mike

It helps to have somthing. Mine is KJ6COB. So that kinda makes me the corn COB. That's how my friend told me he would remember my call sign.

My station is 2m only so I won't be on the santiago 440 repeater. I need to register my callsign with Echolink. I downloaded the free Echolink app on my iPhone. I can wait to play with it. I'll be sure to call out for you guys on Keller Peak when I get it set up.

Russ,

I'm going to be on the WIN System this morning and on Keller on my way home. If for some reason I can't access the WIN System, I'll be on Keller Pk.
WIN: 6:15 - 6:50 AM
Keller: 5:00 - 5:45 PM

I'm in the Death Valley this week and I won't be within range of ANY repeaters until Friday afternoon

Geeze there were a couple of retired guys that tied up Keller Pk for at leaset an hour this morning talking about nothing. I didn't bother even trying to get in.

I'm not doing that when I retire.... at least not during comuter hours.

....must have been the same two on this evening too. I got one chance to shout for ya but did not get a return......

John,

If you called me around 5:30, I ducked into Albertson's about that time. Sorry I missed you.

Do you want to try the WIN system tonight? You best access would be via Santiago Pk. 448.060+ PL 100.0

I need to run into Walmart around 5:30 but I won't be long.

This is so geeky!! I am counting the days til I get my license! (well, not exactly, you know how it goes)

[Roger]

Sarah -
Does that mean you & Rick passed the test??

Talk about Geeky, I made a contact in the United Kingdom from my desk at work. I installed the Echolink app on my iPhone. The guy I was talking to was blown away that I was using my iphone and I was in California.

That's interesting Scott, man has the technology changed in Ham Radio. It has always been on the forefront. If I remember correctly, it was hams who invented the repeater.

Do you have 440? I'd like to try the WIN system. Go to it's website and look up the repeater locations: http://www.winsystem.org/

It looks like there are at least three in SD County. Be sure to read the "Procedures" page because it's a little different talking through multiple linked repeaters.

I'm not working today but I'll try to see if I can get into the WIN system between 5:00 & 5:30 this evening

[OU812]

I have read about the WIN system. I guess the guy who owns it lives in Vista just a few miles from me. I have never used it because I dont have 440..

*going to iTunes store*
Ooo! I'll get it set up when I get my callsign.

Our test is tomorrow. Wee! Hope I pass

Calling N6UJM......

.......Roger...are you there?

I have 440 at the house (2m & 220 too), I have looked at the WIN System website and have plugged in the freq/PL and can hit the Santiago Pk repeater. I will try to be listening at 5 tonight.......

John,

I have Friday's off so I wasn't around at 5:00. I will be monitoring Monday at 5:00 PM. Catch you then.

FYI - There's a future link scheduled for Mt. Rodman. This is N/NE from my house. I up loaded the frequency in my radio today, but the repeater is still not in service yet. I'm trying to find out when it will be in service. That will give me coverage here at the house and in just about all of LV & JV.

Russ Called me on the WIN system tonight from San Fransisco! I also talked to Mike - KR6ROK he was on a Hand Held in the OC. Not bad... but no Nipple Twister..

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot. I may not be on the air the rest of the week depending how I feel after have three wisdom teeth extracted tomorrrow. I'll just have to see how I feel
