Does anyone know the frequency of the FK8 repeater? I should have it programmed in the rig.

Hi Wayne,

There's two 2m repeaters, I think both serving Noumea, on 146.800, input -600 kHz, and a second on 145.700, input - 600 kHz.
I don't know if either have callsigns or idents.

I'm not aware of any 6m or 70cm repeaters in FK8.

Hi Tim

Thank's for that. I have never worked FK on 2m but the repeaters should give an indicator if the path is open. I am not sure if any of the operators have simplex capability.

It seems to ne to be a good path to exploit on all bands above 6m if we can engender some interest.

Hello
Repeater from Mont DO (900m) shoud be heard from VK.
A hint: When we hear the VK FM (88 108mhz) on our local stations.
Muggy weather, worm, sunny and summer are the best conditions

Hi JM

Nice to hear from you! :D

I would really like to work FK8 on simplex, either on FM or preferably SSB. Do any of the FK8 have SSB capability on 2m or 70cm?

I will keep listening for the FK repeaters. What is the frequency of your local FM broadcasting station?
