The access tones and such are not discussed over the air, however the repeater is open. Keeping the information on secure media protects the repeater.
If you wish to use the repeater you can contact the following for the access information. Before doing this you should read over the "FAQ" found on the main page's index.
It's an open free system. It is very helpful if you register by sending your name, call, address and number to Karl's address below, either mail or email. P.O. Boxes are fine for mail, however, your physical location is needed to help in future coverage plans, and in some cases to help in determining the best access route for the system. If you advise me, sensitive information is protected. If you have any family hams that would be using the system, please list them as well as their call sign(s). They are welcome, too. Also because of the increased email spaming going around the world, there are more and more "black list" entries on email severs. What this means, some of folks's email DO NOT work. So if you don't get a reply from me, please try snail mail or calling on the phone.
Support is much needed. Supporters have extended features of both AK2O & K7PP 147.20 repeaters. Please send checks made out to " Karl Shoemaker" at P.O. Box 734, Colbert, WA 99005. (Thanks!) If you have another way to support-let it be known. One time consuming area is doing this web page and answering folk's questions and registration. Karl's precious time could be spend better working on the repeater system, which needs work in several areas in the state.
