[ETS/PARC List] Repeater coverage

[Chris Fine]

Hi all - I was able to pick up the repeater with an HT (Wuoxun) and rubber
antenna, from within my car, as far north as approximately Mile 146
(Newark/Irvington) on the Garden State Parkway recently.  Then it dropped
straight off.

I haven't had any luck using the same equipment from my QTH in Bergen
County, or nearby.  Next step is to try an outdoor antenna at home.  There
might be some other QRM up here too, at least according to the directory.

Will report any results.

Thanks again to the Tech team for all the good work.

73,

I'd like to create a coverage map for the ETSNJ repeater.



I will need data from all of you. As you use the repeater, note where you
are when you begin to lose coverage ( town, road, area ).

Also note what equipment you are using. I'm most interested in Mobile
coverage using a normal 25-50 watts and external antenna.



Eventually, I'll have many points in all directions.



Larry, W2LJ, reported coverage in Poughkeepsie, NY.

I lost the repeater in Chester, NJ ( on the way to the Sussex hamfest.

I just heard a mobile in West Trenton on Rt. 31 that sounded fine.



Thanks!
