    There is a repeater system there that has a cross band 10M FM on 29.620. Every summer I have a pipeline to that system from Ohio. Have had many all night roundtables you NYC guys Rock!

    Nope, Ian Hill isnt gay at all....i was tying it together with him, being a bassist, marrying Rob Halfords sister, who isnt a bassist. Six Degrees of gay rock stars (gay bass players edition - as started by Tim) sort of thing.

    Dont we all? Sometimes we just need to pull ourselves out of the dangerous drug known as reality and just chill with some good folks?

    I dropped off repeaters when I got a serious HF station.

    Some machines were great but on others there was Too much of the same stuff.

    That makes me feel so "nub". You have not used a repeater in two and a half times (give or take) the length I have held a ticket.

    I got off the repeaters several years ago. Nothing but local club politics. Bickering about who could use. Having repeaters turned off when certain individuals came on. Stupidity in general.
