[SixClub] Best 6M Simplex & Repeater Freqs?

[Howard Bingham]

There are 3 - 4 repeaters for 6m in Houston, Tx., but I have never found 
one to be working (According to a friend, most 6m repeaters are on 
towers of less than 100 ft., the majority of 2m & 70 cm repeaters are on 
tall office buildings or hospitals & have ranges from 20 to 50 miles 
dependent on location & height of tower.
