0    0 meaning no bars noted nor no signal heard.  Charlie AB3LE was on too briefly to note any bars.  There may have been other check ins that I did not record.


It appeared that the 2 meter band did work from the hospital site to south county fairly well and the 440 did not.
Shortly after 1100, the station was disassembled and KB3RAN headed to Mexico Restaurant for club lunch.
Thanks to you and Dave W W3PQS for conducting this test.

 All,

We received the go-ahead to investigate the Calvert Hospital roof for a future repeater location.

On Wednesday, Oct 2nd I will have a temporary setup on the hospital roof to test the coverage from that location.  We will need some stations active around the county to conduct the tests.

The plan is to use 2M and 440 simplex frequencies of 146.580 MHz and 446.000 MHz.

We will be setting up starting at 9AM and hope to be on the air between 10:00 and 10:30 AM.   If you can arrange to be available at that time from either your home QTH or mobile to help with this test, please let me..Will especially need stations in the south county.
ThanksN3AE
