There aren't many of us and my 2 m antennas consist of a corner reflector at about 52 ft and a discone (1/4 wave equivalent) at about 56 ft. It ain't great, but I'll leave my 2m rig tuned there on the discone and listen for any calls. The local repeater has become a bit... boring.

There were enough of us along the Front Range that a fair number could talk to each other. At the time, a few members also operated a DX cluster on 2 m packet, with a 70 cm link across the Continental divide to the Western Slope so they could get spots as well. Jeff has had little luck in the Tulsa area, but there are several of us here in the OKC area and we may have some luck. If anyone knows of a state-wide linked system we could use, let us know!
