[450] repeater report

[Bob]

George!  Add 224.340 PL 131.8 (not needed right now) in Long Lane PA!!! Only a "busy", but I could bring it up on low power!

Verified it this morning. 

Three more new ones waiting to be identified on 223.92, 223.98, and 224.66.

Talked to Charlie KA1A on 223.500 yesterday morning....great signal (though only 1 segment) at high power, and when he went to 5 watts there was only the slightest of hiss added.  He was pretty excited.  Sent him the list to see what he could do with it.....awaiting results!

    Just finished "kerchunking" every known 222 repeater pair, using every known PL.
    All done on the CX-333 @ 45' with no amp, no preamp. AEA Isopole, ~22'. 50 W no preamp.
    Here is the list of what I got and how I got 'em.

    By the way, signal report will be represented by "sB" (busy light, which is roughly 0-3 S-units best I can figure), or numerically (s1-s5), based on my 5 segment meter.

    My tests conducted after dark
    There you have it for what it's worth. 

    I'm not really impressed.  Is it the antenna?  The band?  Do people not put enough effort into their 222 machines? 
    Hard to say.
