| Subject: readiness with your ham equipment Have those portables ready..... It would be a good idea (to save time in cases of excitement or chaos) have several local repeaters pre-programmed into those HT's. Here are several I believe would be useful UHF (70 cm) 443.200.......141.3tone...... 449.975.......141.3tone...... 444.500.......131.8tone...... 440.800.......141.3tone..... to 224.560 MHz) VHF (2 mtrs) 146.760......156.7tone..... 147.285......141.3tone..... 147.255......141.3tone..... (as well as the own [E. Drew Moore] ETSNJ and RVRC systems) For those with 222 MHz (1-1/4 mtrs) capabilities, 223.960....110.9tone..... 224.560....141.3tone..... 440.800) 224.960....151.4tone..... Also, the broadcasters use two 'bands' for communications and coordinating their mobile news-gathering units. 450.000 ~ 451.000 & 455.000 ~ 456.000 MHz. When news-worthy events like disasters and accidents happen you can listen-in on events sometimes before they 'hit the air'! Remember that they are using 12.5 KHz channels. Example; 450.2875-(WCBS-tv2).....450. .1125-(FOX 5)......455.0500-(WABC-tv7) others come up as events occur and usually during the early-evening and late evening news periods. |
