Poor choice of words.
I visited my aunt and uncle in Evanston most summers. My
uncle was a physician and my aunt a volunteer at the local
hospital. There were some interesting stories told over dinner....
As to radio, I understood it the 10-85 repeater dated back to
pre-600KHz days, and when the split was standardized on
600KHz they just added a 6.25 receiver. A bunch of the
regular users were from Moto. There were voting receivers
all over the place. One comment was that some day they
would put up a second repeater in Schamburg just to
normalize the pairs.

Are you saying that a "bunch of techs and engineers from Motoroa
used to hang out at your aunt's house"? in Evanston? Strange. First
I ever heard of that.

I'd have to check... there's a 146.85 (MAPS) repeater listed on the CARMA
site, but it doesn't list the input frequency.
I'll check the IL Repeater Association website & see if it's listed.
