Hello,

On the Thursday evening SBARC Technical Mentoring Net (8-9pm 146.79) we have a number of new hams who are looking to fill their memory banks with local frequencies of interest. Obviously there are repeater databases online like repeaterbook.com with great, up-to-date information about frequencies and PL tones and other details.

But repeater books and sites often lack local knowledge and a human touch including information such as: when routine nets take place, what the locals call the repeater (e.g. "Dennis’ repeater," "Calli’s repeater," "the Bozo machine”) and if it is linked to a wider area network. Even more of interest today is that many seldom used FM repeaters are being converted to DMR and SystemFusion machines, which hams may wish to selectively avoid or include in their scans, depending on their needs and equipment.

I’m hoping we can crowdsource a local frequency resource using a publicly editable Google Sheet. Please take a look and contribute what you can. PLEASE NOTE: there are tabs at the bottom of the sheet for Public Safety, Amateur Radio in SB and Amateur Radio in Ventura. Please be sure to mind the category you are in as you make contributions.
