I heard on a distant unknown repeater, a regularly-scheduled railfan ham radio net on Thursday nights at 9:30 p.m., somewhere in western Pennsylvania. I live on the western edge of Indiana County. Given the difficulty of getting a signal, along with the unusual direction I had to hold my scanner to hear the signal at all, the repeater may have been somewhere off to the NW of me. The frequency was 146.640, IIRC. Anybody know anything about this? I’d like to listen to it weekly if I could, and if I could find out where the repeater was, I might be able to better set up to receive the signal. I did make out one guy’s callsign, W3LZR, who I have heard on a number of repeaters. What parts I could make out were discussion about steam locos. Thanks for any help.
And just a poll-do you guys hear any railfan nets (or any railfan discussion) on your scanners, if you’ve listened to ham radio, in your areas?
