I will have a x-band repeater set up for those in the Springs wtih 2m only radios : For those with 2m only use frequency 145.500 Mhz. and I will have a cross band repeat set up to the MARC repeater in the Springs.
Here is some general HAM radio information for those wanting to learn more about what it is all about. I got these from Wes at MARC.

General repeater guidelines with some net information, from Wes of MARC:
Leave breaks between transmissions (a second or so) so anybody with emergency or priority traffic can get it if they need to. We encourage people who appreciate and use the repeater system on a regular basis to support the club and help pay the costs associated with operating and maintaining the system. Appropriate and courteous language as we have families listening, proper ID by stations at least once every ten minutes and at end of conversation; net must be continuous, not on for a while, then
off for a while, then back on; must have an announced start with a "prologue" that lets others listening know what the net is and who is involved and a closing statement when the net is concluded and the system returned to "normal" operation. This is all standard net protocol on any public system.
