WSGT702 Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 When a repeater says Free, members only, but has the input and output tones unlisted, how can a person access this repeater? I tried clicking the owner, but no way to contact. Any help is appreciated. I attached a photo of a repeater . Quote

You can try messaging @Quantum8 using the private messaging features of the forum or you can write them using snail mail. WSGT702 1 Quote
WSGA451 Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 @WSGT702 can you post the answer here when you find out? I'm trying to connect to the same person's LAMBDA repeater Quote
SteveShannon Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 It looks like you would have to join Bluecom, but I don’t know if that’s possible. They used to have a website, which appears in the wayback machine. It appears those repeaters are solely for use by members of their group for their own purposes. Here’s the information posted: “Bluecom was established in 1997 for Military, Law Enforcement and Emergency Responders to have a means of communicating with each other if normal methods were down. Members who responded to the 9-11 site had lost cell usage but were able to communicate back with their families through Bluecom repeaters. The same occurred during the blackout of 2003. We realized that maintaining these emergency backup repeaters was worth the continuing effort. We have members in range of most of our sites who monitor for incidents in order to assist other members.” They are mentioned in several other posts on these forums, including this one by Rich, the owner of the forums: Quote

I have sent messages to use their repeaters, but no one gets back to me. I don't understand why. Quote
gortex2 Posted Friday at 04:42 PM Report Posted Friday at 04:42 PM Most likely becasue none of them monitor the emails on file or they didn't list the repeaters. WSGT702 1 Quote
