Not sure if I understand the question, but if you are referring to the
offsets on the HT to access repeaters, on 2 Meters, below 147.000 you
transmit 600 KHz down from your receive freq. and above 147.000 you
transmit 600 KHz above your receive freq. There are exceptions such as
exactly at 147.000...some repeaters listen 600 KHZ down and some listen
600 KHz above and the (few) repeaters with odd splits. Examples: Set
your HT to listen to a repeater at 145.190 and you transmit back to it
at 144.590, Listen at 146.610 and TX at 146.010, and finally, listen at
147.300 and TX at 147.900.

As for repeaters at OSH...I've never been able to get anyone to talk to
me, but here is a link to the listing of all Wisconsin repeaters:

Maybe a good time to get back on the air. Besides the 146.52 simplex, what
repeaters are best for use at the show?

It's been a long time. Is receive or transmit (on the portable) higher?

In about two weeks (and for ten days thereafter) the largest collection of
aircraft in the world will be converging on Oshkosh WI from all corners of

the
USA and several countries. The show actually starts on the 29th of July

and
ends on the 4th of August, but the heaviest traffic is going to be the

weekends
of 26 July and 2 August.

There is a large crossbreeding of pilots and hams. Our (admittedly
nonscientific) research shows that approximately 15% of all certificated

pilots
are also certificated amateur radio operators. Given that there will be

about
10,000 aircraft flying in at some point during the week, that means 1500
pilot-hams will be in the air somewhere over this country.

Most of us flying our own aircraft have installed ham rigs in the

airplane,
predominantly 2-meters. Most of the rest will at least have an HT with

them.

If you hear one of us on 52 simplex, please give us a shout. Flying

between,
oh, say, Salt Lake to Minneapolis is hours and hours of nothing but hours

and
hours. And, please excuse us if you turn it back to us and we don't

immediately
respond. Every now and again the ground controllers want us to talk with

them,
and with all due respects, they've got priority.
