When you travel our direction (winter time for you snowbirds) you are invited to utilize a very active 2-Meter repeater system known as the EAARS Network.
Go to http://www.eaars.com/eaarsnetwork.html for information and map locations of the various nodes. 2 Meters is very alive and well in the southwest US. Also see http://nm5ml.com/ for total New Mexico coverage. Good luck in your travels. de Milt, N5IA -----Original Message----- From: Larry Ewan Sent: Friday, June 21, 2013 8:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] OT: 2m beam orientation I just made a round-trip from Florida to Montana in the past two weeks, scanning the 2M and 70CM simplex channels and repeaters along the way. In 6 days on the road I heard exactly one conversation. And it was on 146.520 between two 18 wheeler hams on I-90 in South Dakota.
