[Elecraft] OT: 2m beam orientation

[Milt -- N5IA]

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

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.
