Rubicon's repeater frequency might be bad

Quote "UHF Rubicon repeater 444.9875 rec. 449.9875 trans pl 107.9 hz linked to Ka6gwy repeater"


This band, 444.9875MGhz is in the midle of the norlam spectrum bands. The adjacent frequencies are 444.975 and 446.950.
Are you sure this is correct? if not what is the correct frequency?
Lastly, Do you know the call singe of the "Rubicon repeater" and it's location?

The frequencies are all correct. Yes it is between 2 channels. It is
Rubicon trail specific custom built by ka6gwy. Crossband repeater tied
to the 146.805 2 meter repeater. The repeater is located above Spider
lake. If there are any questions fill free to contact ka6gwy.

Hopefully this helps.

Any exciting events during the event? I put 20 stitches in a a girls knee (laid it open at the springs), interestingly she was the sister of the guy that took that roll last year. That family needs to take up checkers

Seems like all went well with no major events...didn't see any choppers at least.

I think I know who you are talking about...

This is the only accident I have heard of yet. Everyone commented that wearing gloves was not a problem, and it was great to see them in many pictures and being used on the trail.


Thanks to everyone for making this a safe and successful rubithon!

 

[worknplay]

Didn't get called for anything. Did hear about the knee. Thanks for taking care of it. All in all, very mellow. Great job everyone!

Yup, Josh's sister biffed it at the waterfalls by dirty dozen.
I thought that instead of wheeling I would show em the water hole and we would hang at camp , swim , then bbQ. Well, she fell off the top of waterfall and a tree limb was there to catch her. BAD CUTS, went got Dr. Dan , and she watched him stich her up, tough girl.
