Colorado Repeater List

[Oh_shift]

I know there are "up-to-date" logs on the internet of the Colorado Repeaters, but with most of us exploring "off the grid", a paper copy is always a good thing to have on hand. (I have a friend who refers to paper maps as "scrolls", but sometimes even that's what you need.)

I've attached a PDF and excel (for those that like data) file of the 2M and 70cm repeaters that are either 200 miles from Denver or Grand Junction organized by county. That covers all of Colorado and the surrounding States. I apologize in advance for mistakes or changed data. Please let me know, so we can keep this as current as possible.

There's a reason this stuff isn't printable off the internet! Took me a couple weeks to get this all organized. This PDF is filtered down to print only Colorado, and only FM towers. I don't have a digital radio, and unless I'm missing something as a newbie, I didn't want them printed on this list.

"But I don't know the counties! Just the cities and trails!"
Well, then here's a map for reference! It has Colorado's counties with highways and major cites to help you identify which county you're exploring.

The last step is on you, and it's the important one:
Make sure you can manually program your Ham radio on the fly before you get in trouble. Or, if it's quick enough, program your radio to the counties you will need per trip.

Have fun out there!

Thanks!

Bump, bump, bump!

Just trying to help other get more eyes on this.

Thanks Alex! This is great!

How about a monthly bump for this great tool? Surely someone's received their licenses since Jan and hasn't seen this yet...

@DaughterofMendo Check it out!

Bump!
It's wheeling season. Make sure you have resources in case things go unscheduled while you're off the grid.

Since it's been it looks like more than 2 years since the last XLSX was put up and @RayRay27 asked for a repeater listing I thought it might be useful to others. I dumped all the Colorado 2m and 70cm repeaters as of Feb 6, 2020 in RepeaterBook into CSV files and ZIP'd them into a single archive. It'll expand to two CSV files.

This is an unspecific format so it's just generic data and not necessarily formatted correctly for all radios or software. I suggested to him and will here too, that you use Chirp if it supports your radio because it can pull in repeaters directly from online databases and it will format for your radio.

I also would recommend not programming in 500 repeaters across the state and regionally. It's overwhelming and you'll never find what you want. Program in all the Colorado Connection repeaters to start.

You might do 2m simplex for Colorado (on 15KHz channels) and Utah (on 20KHz channels) if you really want. Other than that you'd have to ask the Denver guys what's still active. I assume 145.145, 145.460, maybe some others.
