Hello,

I remember years ago bringing my HT with me when the SWLFest was in Kulpsville. I was disappointed at the lack of repeaters in the area. The problem that I still run into is ham repeaters are listed by location. It is difficult to figure out if a location like Souderton is nearby when you are not familiar with the area. One way I overcome the problem is to use Google Earth to map out the repeaters I am interested in and create a kmz file. I did this for repeaters around Plymouth Meeting. It turns out there are a few within a short distance. I also found some repeaters listed as Philadelphia are actually sited in Roxborough, so they are closer than the city and even visible from the hotel.

Here is some information I gathered from local repeater group websites.

W3QV The Phil-Mont Mobile Radio Club http://www.phil-mont.org/
    Roxborough 147.030 MHz offset +0.6 MHz CTCSS 91.5 is usually linked to 444.800 MHz offset +5.0 MHz CTCSS 186.2 full time         There are also 2 Meter remote receivers in Center City (Philadelphia), Lansdale, and Southampton.

W3WAN “The Wide Area Network Repeater System” or WANRS. http://www.wanrepeater.net/
    Roxborough 441.700 MHz offset +5.0 MHz CTCSS 74.4
        This is part of a statewide system of linked repeaters.

WR3IRS The NJ-NY-PA DMR Network https://www.n2jti.net/home.html
    Roxborough 440.650 MHz offset +5.0 MHz CC1 DMR

W3SBE Philadelphia Broadcast Engineers Amateur Radio Club
    Roxborough 442.550 MHz offset +5.0 MHz CTCSS 91.5 is usually linked to 927.8875 MHz offset -25.0 MHz CTCSS 91.5 full time         These repeaters maybe off the air as the group does not seem to be very active.

K3PDR Philadelphia Digital Radio Association https://www.k3pdr.org/
    Wyndmoor 146.610 MHz offset -0.6 MHz D-Star
    Wyndmoor 445.18125 MHz offset -5.0 MHz D-Star

    Bluebell 447.025 MHz offset -5.0 MHz CTCSS 131.8
        Bluebell is a short distance north of Plymouth Meeting and home of some good Korean BBQ!
