The lower third will probably
cover most of San Diego too,
If your area is not covered. please
contact a club officer.
Only the 146.73 repeater w111 be
connected to the patches in Nov.
Please note that the club and
Jerry-WB6FMT have two autopatch
schedules that we have been
attempting to meet: l)connecting up
to three of the four repeaters on
Palomar Mountain. and 2)connect1ng
up to three sections of SD.Co. That
is almost like connecting up 9
autopatches. The system is capable
of acting like 12 autopatches
although we will only have one of
them connected in October and three
or possibly six of them connected in
November. It is probably the only
system of its kind in the world and
it remains to be seen how effective
it does what it is supposed to do.
If one repeater is being used for
chit-chat. just switch to another
repeater in the bunker and use the
autopatch on that frequency. All
autopatches have been finished and
meeting for the latest information
if you are interested in the
patches. ®
In November. if you cannot get a
d1al tone, your problem could be
l)weak signal into the repeater,
2)poor tones, or 3)the patch is not
in operation. In December you might
not get a dial tone if the patch is
being used by the KA6UAI repeater on
147.130. Before using the patch you
might just check each repeater to
see if the patCh is already in use.
We do not expect problems of this
type for quite a while until usage
increases significantly. At that
time we might have to install a
"busy signal" indicator and possibly
other goodies.
One change in the schedule has
been that since we are changing the
autopatches, Erik wanted to remove
the old autopatch system from 147.13
and replace it with the new system
as soon as possible. This means
that 147.13 will have no autopatch
on it after October 20th and that he
will be connected up to the new
system before the announced January
date ••• probably by the 1st of
December. As a whole. the new
system is ahead of schedule at this
date •• but we still could run into
problems. We are having some
problems with the telephone company
in trying to get PARC's name placed
on the phone bill as the operator of
the phone. We hope to have
EVERYTHING completed by January 5th.
The autopatch system is designed
to allow emergency calls to most
locations in San Diego County west
of the mountains with a minimum of
interruption due to main trunk lines
being severed (not all our eggs are
in one basket). If the autopatch
system would have been in Valley
Center using an 800 number last
year. you would not have been able
to make emergency calls outside of
