Don't forget Field Day is comming up the weekend of June 22-23. Operations will begin at 1:00PM Saturday and continue for 24 hours. This year the location will be at Terrace Oaks West Park, Burnsville. Head east on Burnsville Parkway and turn right (south) on CR 11. The parking lot is on the east side of CR 11 about a quarter mile south of Burnsville Parkway. GPS: 44° 46' 16.5" N , 93° 14" 58.5 W.
Come on out and operate all the bands, general public welcome.
Sign up for the Field Day reflector to keep up on all the plans. Go to Email Lists (7 up from the bottom on the Main Menu on the left) and sign up for tcrc-fd.
The long awaited 100 Hz CTCSS tone (PL for you Motorola fans) is now on the 147.21 repeater. This means you must transmit a 100Hz subaudible tone in order to open up the repeater.
Kevin is also experimenting with a PL "wakeup" mode which would require a 100Hz tone every 5 minutes. This will allow a conversation with someone without a tone as long as the other person has a tone.
Kevin is also experimenting with a dtmf wakeup mode where transmission of a * (lower left corner of your keypad) would be required every 5 minutes.

Four Repeaters on Four Bands!
Which organization is the only one to have FOUR REPEATERS ON FOUR BANDS? The Twin Cities Repeater Club, of course!!
We have repeaters on 6 meters (53.37MHz, 100Hz tone), 2 meters (147.21MHz, 100Hz tone), 1.25cm (224.54MHz, 100Hz tone), and 70cm (444.3MHz, 114.8Hz tone). Give them all a try.
No, you don't have to be a member of the TCRC to use our machines. However, at $25.00 per year why not join us?
