[OFARC] problem hitting repeater

[GammaMann at aol.com]

I'm not sure whats going on but the SMA jumpers are a little tight and the  
connector has to be firmly seated.  This was a problem on one of the  
Baeofangs where it was not seated properly on the radio.  Could also be a  bad 
cable.  If checking this its still a problem, bring the antennas  back next 
month with the radio or catch up with me sometime before and  we can see what 
the problem is.  Could also just be a dead spot where you  are located.  Try 
at some other location and see if this clears it  up.

Ralph,
At the meeting Saturday, I was testing several of the antennas we built.  
None of the 3-4 that i tried could hit the 170 repeater strong enough to make 
 the trip. All of them easily hit the w5bsa repeater on the west side of 
town.  Now I'm wondering if the problem is at the repeater since you are 
having so  many problems too.

The past few weeks I have had problems hitting the repeater from home  with 
50 watts....Hwy 59 @ W. Airport area
Normally It is no problem.
I have no problems hitting the 146.92 and 146.940 machines
 
I spoke with a fellow on the 146.92 repeater and he said my signal was  
strong and clean but he was not able to hit the 145.17 machine either
 
Is there anything going on with the repeater?
I know the antenna was moved out of place last year.
 
Thanks
