My understanding is that the other repeaters on .64 are only heard in the
area under enhanced propagation condx. If that is the case, we have an
enhancement now. around 6:30 I had perfect copy on a conversation via the
W3BXW machine in Egg Harbor, NJ. This was on an HT with a duckie at low
elevation, about 3 ft. above the water level. There was just a hint of
noise on the signal. HT was giving 2 bars, whatever that's worth. Now at
about 100' above the water, just copied a W3BXW ID (no current activity) at
3 bars. Don't know how much RF a bar is worth, but it's at least a relative
indicator. 73 DE K7LU ..
