Ten Meter Repeaters

Repeaters can be found at the top end of the 10m band, using FM with a 100 kHz offset.

A few of the possible repeaters which might be heard if propagation allows are listed below.

Many others may be heard depending upon where propagation on the band favors.

Call Sign	Description	Band	Frequency	Tone Access	Mode	Notes	Reference/Source/Date	Heard	CQ Zone

Most of these sites do not indicate how old the information they contain is.

For a historical view (1994) of worldwide activity see: http://www.redwaveradio.com/7_efea669593afab61_1.htm Some of these repeaters may still be active.

Other Nets heard in the Okanagan Valley

This is a selected list of nets audible in the Okanagan Valley area. This is a rough worklist of nets which are not currently (and may never be) listed on the main club webpage. Some may only be heard seasonally due to propagation changes through the year. Times may differ up to one hour earlier or later depending upon seasonal variations.

All local days and times are for the Pacific Time Zone. Information marked with a "?" has not been fully validated.

Interesting Amateur Radio Links:

In 1991, the USSR is falling apart and Cuba enters its hardest economic crisis. Sergio, a professor of Marxism who can't provide for his family, and Sergei, a Soviet cosmonaut stranded in the Mir space station, share a common passion: amateur radio. Through this hobby, both men will be able to help each other in facing the dramatic changes of their countries.

Although the movie is fictional, it is based on a real story, where the real Sergei Krikalev depended upon Margaret Iaquinto, in Ballat, Victoria, Australia for over a year to get timely updates from home during the collapse of the Soviet Union.
