Last year we used 146.55 MHz FM and it worked out nicely. I made quite a few contacts there. As far as DMR...you could program in 441.000 MHz, TG 99, TS 1 CC1 and use simplex since you're all in the same place! That is one of the recommended DMR simplex frequencies. http://www.va3xpr.net/dmr-simplex-frequencies/ Tom, while I know that TG 31360 is the best for you because you already have it programmed in, I'm not sure that all the folks who use Tri State during their daily commutes would be too interested in SWL Fest chat about Pancho and purple paper for 3 days typing up "their" TG. But that is just my opinion. I've setup a D-Star callsign routing group which Festers are free to use. It is live now and it is called SWLFEST. If you are bringing your Zumspot/Jumbospot etc it can already do callsign routing. Replace the CQCQCQ that is usually in the UR Call field with "SWLFEST" and it will just work. To terminate use "SWLFESTT". I'll leave it up through the end of next week, but maybe it will stick around if I see it getting some use.

But here's wishing for a good gathering of the radio active from me and Tina. 73 On Thu, 2019-02-21 at 21:11 -0500, Thomas Sundstrom wrote: > The recent discussion on choosing a fest comm frequency--2m or 70cm > --was confusing.
