Repeater at MN state fair

[Bob Liesen]

All,

  I see on Google there is an "official" repeater for us to use while at the fair.  Unfortunately, the web site that lists said machine wants >>way<< too much information for such a simple request.

  Anyone know the system that is being used?

Tnx

According to Google AI and I quote 

"

The official Minnesota State Fair HAM repeater uses the frequency 444.425 MHz, hosted by John Czech (KA0KMJ) for the event. This open repeater is

located just southwest of the fairgrounds

, providing coverage across the fairgrounds, the Twin Cities metro, and beyond. Ham radio operators are encouraged to use it for communication and to listen to the daily net at 7 AM for updates during the fair. 

How to Use the Repeater

1. Tune your radio: to the output frequency of 444.425 MHz. 
2. Set your radio's offset: to the standard FM offset for a 444 MHz repeater

Would you let your daughter date this a I model? Your mileage may vary...

You have to set the DPL to 025.

It's Don Rice's repeater. It's under John's call sign.
