The recent discussion on choosing a fest comm frequency--2m or 70cm--was confusing. Frankly, I don't recall seeing a consensus. Please advise. <grin>
The wide-area N3KZ 70cm analog network is off the air, perhaps for good. There has been ongoing nonsense--deliberate interference caused by troublemakers--and the management pressed the red kill button. The PARA W3PHL network is probably the next largest linked analog network. Look at http://para.buxcom.net and/or https://www.repeaterbook.com for information. For those on DMR, probably the Brandmeister talkgroup (TG) TriState 31360 -- https://wiki.brandmeister.network/index.php/TalkGroup/31360 --is the most convenient for festees to use. The TrIState TG is on a host of DMR repeaters. See http://www.wr3irs.com and http://www.n2jti.net for repeaters, color codes and time slots. The Philadelphia 440.650 repeater in Roxborough (near City Line Ave and I-76) should easily provide coverage at the hotel. If you are using a hotspot and a VZW Jetpack (or equivalent) in the car or in a go-bag, then simply add 31360 to your codeplug. 73 de Tom W2XQ
