I can't seem to get on the IRLP repeater in CO Springs. Anyone know the details for this repeater?

The irlp website shows 2 repeaters in CO Springs, one doesn't have a frequency listed, might be a closed repeater, the other is the 440 band.

Have you tried node #3990, W0CRA 145.1600 -offset, PL tone 107.20, in Colorado Springs? It appears to be linked to a setup above Denver.

Okay - I was a day early and tried to get on the 9/26 net tonight 9/25! Doh!

I had made a connection with the 3057 node through my local repeater but it was not connected to the 9250 western reflector - I then tried punching in 9250 and what do you know! I was connected to the western reflector! Wrong net though - it was something called the handshake net. I did not want to tie up the repeater so I didn't check in becuse they were still taking east coast checkins and I am west coast.
I will most definately be trying tomorrow now that I have had luck connecting.
