There are/were wide split repeater pairs in the
originl ARRL 2M band plan. Before I learned how
to deal with the coordination bs (narcc), I fired
one up using a 1MHz split. Worked very well for
a number of years. We found a 600KHz split and
later moved.
Based on the initial response, you would have
thought it was a national crime to put up an
odd split repeater. We received a lot of crap
from various local sources even though the repeater
was a very smart operation. Eventually people
got over the upstart club repeater and we became
just another group on the band.

Don't hold your breath when dealing with some
coordination groups... use the various band
plans as a guide, do serious frequency monitoring
and pick some smart choices of equipment, location
and operation. "you can do it...".
