The repeaters are open repeaters for all
amateurs who are members, non-members, visitors and even travelers and vacationers to the Southern
California area. We simply ask that they obey FCC regulations and operate courteously. Talk on our 220 repeater via Echolink Conference Server *CATALINA* (Node #384712). If you don't have a 220 radio or you are out of
town and want to check in with your friends, give Echolink a try!
