Bob (KB2TGD) has taken a break from cleaning his shack. He updated the repeaters list for this area. Download it and compare it with yours. See if you need to make any adjustments.
Of course is always good to verify that you are able to access the repeater before programming them in to your radio. If you see any mistakes or the list needs corrections, leave a comment.

On Wednesday, January 19 at 1630 UTC, engineers at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama confirmed that the NanoSail-D nanosatellite ejected from Fast Affordable Scientific and Technology Satellite (FASTSAT). According to NASA, the ejection event occurred spontaneously and when engineers at Marshall identified and analyzed onboard FASTSAT telemetry; the ejection of NanoSail-D also has been confirmed by ground-based satellite tracking assets. NASA is asking radio amateurs to listen on 437.270 MHz for the signal and verify NanoSail-D is operating. Hams should send information to the NanoSail-D dashboard.

For about a year now I (KC2UEZ) have been re-broadcasting the K2JJI repeater on this site. I decided to expand the number of repeaters monitored.
How this work? K2JJI 146.700Mhz will take priority over all the other frequencies. If there is a QSO on a nearby repeater and a new QSO starts on K2JJI, the QSO on K2JJI will be the one streamed to the internet. The list of monitored repeaters frequencies are:
| Name | Freq | Name | Freq | ||
| 1 | K2JJI | 146.700 | 9 | WA2ZWM | 146.610 |
| 2 | CA 2M | 146.520 | 10 | WB2BGI | 145.430 |
| 3 | CA 70cm | 446.000 | 11 | N2FEP | 147.360 |
| 4 | K1YMI | 443.700 | 12 | NC2C | 145.350 |
| 5 | KC2AUO | 147.195 | 13 | N2CJ | 449.975 |
| 6 | WA2UMX | 147.240 | 14 | WA2IR | 146.790 |
| 7 | KF2JT | 449.275 | 15 | K2AE | 147.060 |
| 8 | WA2AAU | 146.865 | 16 | K1FFK | 449.425 |
