Mt. Jacinto HAM Repeaters

[mxms]

Hi,

Wondering if anyone out there hikes Mt. San Jacinto with their Ham radio gear. If so, do you know of an open repeater in the area? I usually carry my HT.
Any frequencies that you know are monitored?

We were planning hike this weekend (Sunday 09/07) but the weather doesn't look favorable so we'll re-schedule either to Saturday or some other week.

There are a couple of repeaters at the tram. I'll have to look up the freqs but they are public and you should be able to find them without too much trouble. I use them often.

Also from SJ summit you can talk through the Catalina repeater which is kinda fun.

Thanks! Sounds interesting.
I'm newly licensed - KK6JPX - so itching to try this out.

Here are the tram and Catalina freqs..

Tramway 145.4800 - 107.2
Catalina 147.0900 + 79.7

I live in Palm Springs and monitor the tramway often. 73..

Anyone know if the Idyllwild repeater is open or do you have to be a club member? I'm a new HAM as well and will be testing my radio out at the peak on a trip at the end of the month.

Appears to be open. I don't see any reference that it's members only on their website .. http://www.milehighradioclub.org/

Thanks. I didn't see any reference either but being new to HAM I didn't know if it was implied.

Funny, when I am up there I usually take My KW TH D72a so the Wife can see where I am and yes she does check . I play on 146.520 from time to time with good results. You would be surprised with the line of sight from up there. Have fun
