[TriLUG] OT: area ham repeaters

[Roy Vestal via TriLUG]

So the "Big" ones in the area are:

K4ITL, SWARC 145.210 -

W4DW, RARS 146.64 -

WB4TQD, 146.88 - (SkyWARN)

AK4H, JARS 147.270 +

KD4PBS 442.075

W4UNC 442.150

Look for Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Apex area 
repeaters. You should be able to hit most of them.

Here is a great list of all the local area repeaters by the RARS club 
that is updated often. The list covers 900MHz through 2M.

See you on the air!
