Hello I am a new ham and i have a friend in
Parkersburg, West Virginia. He has a 2 meter radio and echolink.

I do not have echolink.

Does anyone know of a repeater close to where I am, that I
would be able to hit with my 2 meter radio Radio Shack HTX 202 144-148
MHZ.

I live in Queens County NY.

Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Steven


I'd check with people on repeaters you can hear and ask them. Someone
should know unless they're also clueless no-coders. If all else fails,
you can take your HTX 202 back to Radio Shack and exchange blank stares
with the clerk.

Usually the no-code techs have a better idea as to how echolink and IRLP
work than most of the old-timers, because it is the only way that they can
access "long distance" radio. Most of the old-timers don't consider it to
be "real" radio and as such, are often stuck in their ways and slow to
accept the new form of communication on the service.
It is similar to many of the other forms that were incorporated into amateur
radio and were slow to be accepted, such as SSB, SSTV, even ATV. I don't
think any of these are any less ham radio than CW is ham radio.

Echolink isn't real radio, it's Retard DX.

RTTY, SSTV, CW, AMTOR, PSK, PACKET, ATV, etc. are all real. No
internet required.

Funny post.
No-code ops usually don't give a hoot about getting on the HF bands. They
are content with VHF/UHF communications, and so learning CW is not necessary
since that mode is for repeater I.D. AND NOTHING ELSE.
As far as learning the code, I see that as not only the most productive mode
for HF communication, but as a rite of passage.
The code tests should be more than 5 WPM, IMO.

damm I forgot what this stupid email was all about

You are right...no-code is what you should advocate since you couldn't pass
5WPM, let alone 13 or 20 as it was.
Stay at VHF...it's where you need to be.

glad to amuse you

where do you get yoursample? Most Notechs of my aquantance would LIKE
HF access but it isn't worth the effort

They
are content with VHF/UHF communications, and so learning CW is not
necessary
since that mode is for repeater I.D. AND NOTHING ELSE.

wrong althought it is close to useless at VHF and above it has its
uses in EME and at the upper edges of in the microwaves bands for
those interptid folk
As far as learning the code, I see that as not only the most productive
mode
for HF communication, but as a rite of passage.

"rite of Pasage" their you have the basic Rub of the whole issue if I
may focus the point . I and other NoCode test advocates feel that the
Govt has NO right to impose or support any rite of passage stuff
either in radio or elsewhere

as to it usefulness in HF I don't see it . if am I not going the ehar
the other Id rather deal with a keyboard of deal with another CW mode
Hell where the eye rather than the ear deal with the fuzy mode
The code tests should be more than 5 WPM, IMO.

there believe or not where we come the closest to agreeing. I see no
value at all in 5wpm test it is should go away (which is what I think
should or should always have been higher to produce a use operator )
the current system which I only supported going as step to ending
testing is Hilary care for the mode

Nope. It belongs in the kill file with all other cross posts about
either being a ham or using code Mr. Eagle eyes.
