i can arrange that. would you like me to add you to the list?

Would any SF hams be interested in a HF sked?

i don't have HF gear yet, but others do, and yes, there would absolutely 
be interest. one member (gaspo) is up the coast and can't reach us via 
UHF and would love an HF net.

> Is there a local VHF or UHF repeater that's popular?

quite a number. we use the Oakland repeater, WB6NDJ 146.880 PL77. others 
are 444.850 K6KYA (Twin Peak, but very weak),  145.23 N6NFI at SLAC 
(very strong), 147.060 W6CX (Mt. Diablo - very strong). There are a host 
of other repeaters - I can send you my list off list.

K6KYA is on the win system which is a worldwide repeater system linked 
via the Internet, so you can speak to people all around the world and 
listen live on the Internet anytime.
