[SADXA] 2m repeater query

[Desert Woodworker]

Howdy, Tom,

I only regularly (and seldom, at that) listen or talk on the
EAARS 2m set of repeaters.  I don't hear John's repeater
directly, because there is a lump of terrain in the way of
any direct signal, several hundred feet high (but I can get
in through a related repeater that has some offset Southwards
geographically from the geo-obstruction that affects my QTH).

But I don't work much VHF/UHF, being HF-centered, in terms
of interest and activity for DXCC, etc., and general operating.
Working my way through the spectrum, perhaps: maybe someday
I'll be interested in 2m and above, and get up there.  ;-)

Funny, because in one of my careers, in Radio Astronomy, all
I worked for 10 years was 115.271 GHz, or 2.6 millimeters.  Of
course, all that was on the fantastically sensitive RX end, not
TX.  We were not bending ET's ear, but mapping the Milky Way.


Nonetheless, a simplex freq used by some of the DX-ers here is
very valuable, and friendly: I can recommend 145.630 "Mertz". 


All best, and,


w/ Cheers,


and best 73, gud DX,
