Neighbouring Repeater information

This list is primarily a work in progress to track repeaters which have not yet been confirmed as still active, or repeaters with uncertain information on location or tone.

Most repeaters previously on this list have been moved to the main repeater list on the OCARC website. http://ocarc.ca/frequencies/region/

Non-verified Repeaters (Okanagan Valley)

These repeaters either have coverage in parts of the Okanagan Valley, or coverage in areas no more than an hours drive away.

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.

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

The Story of Sergei Krikalev U5MIR

Sergio And Sergei - a 2017 fictional movie based on actual events (IMDB summary)

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.
