Have no idea how this ranks but just FYI WB6AAE, Grizzly Peak, 
California (SF Bay Area), 146.2/146.8 was up and running when I got my 
license in 1962.  Around late 1963 or early 1964, added a UHF repeater 
on 449.5/448.1.  Sponsonred by Grizzly Peak VHF Amateur Radio Club, 
Richmond, California.  Several other repeaters were also up and running 
at that time including K6GWE (I think it was K6), an AM repeater on the 
San Francisco peninsula.  I don't remember the city.  Also a couple of 
others in "General" portion of 2meters (144 - 145 and 147 - 148)  I was 
Tech. at the time so don't know too much about those.  Interesting 
project.  Hope you get lots of information.  Will be following this 
with interest.
