@kr1st Yeah. Interesting it seems that many of the #6meter #repeaters listed in repeaterbook.com seem to be QRT.
#repeaters
@kr1st I found a couple of local #6meter #repeaters. I'll give them a try. I found this video for programming the #IC7300 for repeaters. fun stuff. https://youtu.be/LOrKUcs0eac?feature=shared
Pour ceux qui cherchent une #carte des #relais #radioamateurs de #France métropolitaine et d'Outre-Mer, F4IGO a fait un boulot absolument fantastique :
If you are looking for a #map of metropolitan and overseas french #hamradio #repeaters, F4IGO made an absolutely tremendous job:
Some adventures installing @openwrt@lemdro.id
@openwrt@lemmy.world on a #Google #WiFi "puck" (AC-1304)
If you follow the directions between the links: https://openwrt.org/toh/google/wifi
and the updated details in this thread
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/finally-installed-openwrt-on-my-google-wifi-ac-1304/183541/2
you can get #OpenWRT installed on those #Google #Wifi #pucks (AC-1304).
It is a bit of a challenge, since you are flying blind based on the light colors and blinking of the puck; along with the typical poor documentation of open source projects (as typical, written as someone is well familiar with the topic and process, rather than written in a #KISS for the #n00b).
Once installed, you can configure as #repeaters following this tutorial
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/relay_configuration
and the video at

Through Hurricanes Helene and Milton, Amateur Radio Triumphs When All Else Fails
While some residents in hurricane-impacted areas can’t send texts or make calls, #AmateurRadio enthusiasts are helping communicate requests for help and messages between loved ones.
Wired
9 October
"Hurricanes have wreaked havoc on the United States over the past month. More than 200 people have been confirmed dead as a result of #HurricaneHelene and many more have gone missing, making it the most destructive US hurricane since Katrina in 2005. Nearly a week after Helene made landfall, #CellService #DeadZones plagued the Carolinas, leaving thousands of residents unable to reach their friends, families, and even emergency responders. As #HurricaneMilton builds in the Gulf of Mexico this week, radio operators in #Florida are also preparing to launch their net—a group of operators communicating live over the air. Scott Roberts, an amateur radio section manager for northern Florida, said that operators in his area started checking their equipment and making plans to deploy to shelters as of Monday.
"There are more than 1 million licensed radio amateurs in the US like Witherspoon and Roberts, according to a Federal Communications Commission spokesperson who spoke to WIRED last week. Some amateur radio bands are short bands, reaching only small communities of people, while others cover hundreds and even thousands of miles. When #CommunicationInfrastructure fails, like #CellularNetworks during a natural disaster, the FCC allows for amateur radio operators to assist in recovery efforts.
"Gordon Mooneyhan, spokesperson for the American Radio Relay League, said he knows of three main #repeaters being used to convey messages inside the disaster area from Hurricane Helene, including the #MountMitchellRepeater, which is located at the highest point in #NorthCarolina at 6,600 feet and boosts localized radio broadcasts to a wider network. This is where Witherspoon read off supply requests and #RoadClosures."

The internet says that LMR-400 is bad feedline for a repeater because the different materials interact.
The internet also says that lots of repeaters run LMR-400 and it's fine.
I need to set up a temporary UHF repeater for three days. What should I use for 50 feet of feedline without breaking tha bank?
On 2 meters, do you primarily use repeaters, simplex, or both about equally for local communications?
#HamRadio #AmateurRadio #2meter #Simplex #Repeaters
I've been primarily a simplex operator on VHF since I was licensed. I've never seen the reason to broadcast my local conversation all across the state on a repeater
VHF simplex is fairly active in this area. If you're ever in the Colorado Springs, CO area, tune up 146.460 and announce yourself. Someone will almost always answer, and you're guaranteed to have a very nice and pleasant conversation. Don't be surprised if you're invited to a club meeting.
#HamRadio #AmateurRadio #Repeaters #Simplex #VHF
#TLDR: You can't have #repeaters or store-and-forward on #MURS / #FRS but you might be allowed to have a "linked simplex" setup since it would not be considered a "repeater proper" or a "store and forward" system by current #FCC standards and practices
FRS/MURS are not allowed "#repeaters" which are, usually, seen by the FCC to be taking up 2 frequencies/channels to be an "actual repeater" that "boosts" the signal in a "local" way (a #simplexor is considered store and forward, since it records and regurgitates)
Learn how Repeaters work.
In WaveTalkers LIVE Episode 90 we dove into how to create a ham radio code plug. As part of that discussion we explored the key features of Repeaters. This short movie contains an excerpt from that lesson.
I have lot of fun doing #DX on FM over 10Meter #repeaters. However the fun is spoiled by repeaters using carrier squelch. On some days I am able to key like 3 repeaters on one frequency. Please, add CTCSS to your repeaters! #hamradio
Go ahead and call #CQ on #HamRadio #Repeaters. Even if an (un)helpful Ham tells you not to call CQ, you've made a contact.
Downside of the #hamradio folks here in my county: lots of stress chattering on the #repeaters about their personal experience, with no breaks if there were emergency radio traffic. No net control. #emcomm #earthquake
Apparently 10m #repeaters this morning propagating from California to Boston, with people from Europe also checking in (!). Just heard KQ2H repeater (in #Manhattan #NY) identify. #hamradio
Added to #dlarc: The Google Earth Ham Repeaters Overlay Project — a set of KML files for Google Earth based on the RepeaterBook.com database https://archive.org/details/google-earth-ham-repeaters-overlay-project
One of our local #repeaters down due to lack of enough battery/solar to handle a few rainy days; if you're planning a repeater site for disaster/emergency reasons, good to plan for those sort of things. (must note, same issues seen with some repeaters here for similar reasons, during wildfires) #hamradio #disasters
Heading to the coast today. I'll be monitoring the repeaters near Yachats & Waldport on the drive. #hamradio #repeaters
@baweaver
So I don't know whether to replace the #Linksys #Nighthawk #R8000 with a higher-end and more capable #router (such as #Ubiquiti, if I could afford such), or go with #repeaters (about the requirements of which I know nothing), or get an additional relatively low-end (read: #affordable) router and put the #IoT devices on a separate #subnet as originally ideated. Or something else. 🤔
Open to suggestions. Please. My #SBH is going spare about not being able to reach the printer.. 🙄🤪😔
