[Dbarmstrong00]

 I use that repeater from time to time out of lusby, it’s great if there are people on it. I hit it with ease.

No CW, digital, RTTY, etc. and is limited to 50w so it is not intended to take the place of ham. Licensing is $35 and one license is good for an entire family so it has the potential to introduce the younger crowd to the world of radio without the individual fees and initial study commitment.
