The Morning 40-meter frequency
I have noticed over the last week that MIDCARS, a net on 7.258 MHz, has good signals from the Midwest, and so the repeater Drake HF monitor will be set to that frequency in the morning.
Remember, *77 brings up the remote HF receiver, and, #1 brings it down.

Can the repeater’s HF remote monitor be used by those who are not members of the club ? I enjoy listening on the way to work, but have been hesitant to bring it up.
What about the autopatch?

Yes any ham licensed to operate on 2-meters can use the remote HF receiver and the autopatch. The latter is free long distance, since there are so many area codes around here.
This is a truly OPEN repeater. No club membership is necessary.
One of our goals is to encourage active use of the amateur spectrum by multiple modes and options (see the Club Goals link). So, nobody should be hesitant to use either option. The Repeater Codes link gives all the access codes.

I’m wondering if it’s possible to email or radio a request for a frequency change from time to time.
In the late afternoons there’s a wonderful gathering of AMers around 3725Kc that I would enjoy listening to.
Usually I can tell they’re on with a little ‘world band’ radio, but it would be nice to hear them on a real rig, ya know ?

Paul,
OK. I will set it tonight and you bring it up when you need to.
A new option that I have added is the remote base option, which is active when I am home and can monitor things. In this mode, you can transmit on HF via the repeater. For now, I am keeping the touch tone code private until all the bugs are worked out. Anyway, the club station would not be very good on AM transmit (30 watts), so I will set it to your frequency in the monitor mode. Use *77 to bring it up and #9 to take down. Keep it to 30 min and then a 30 min rest so we can protect the transmitter.
