[W1SMH] Rpt Coverage Summary

[John Miller]

Yesterday, I was checking coverage in Taunton. Unfortunately, we lost the 
water pump and probably head gasket but that's not confirmed yet, think we 
actually lost the water pump previous and didn't know it I just knew 
something had a very slight whine to it but it overheated extreme yesterday 
but anyway, I was in to the repeater from taunton from about the backyard of 
where I used to live which is where we realized there was a bad problem and 
pulled over and you know what? previously, it was a bit iffy in that area 
with a hand held hearing and getting in but it was perfect to it may be a 
little better now. I'm not 100% sure, I was in my mother's car when I tried 
it though about 3/4 of a mile behind where I used to live but I know it 
wasn't quite that good on a hand held from there before so it might be a 
little better in that direction. When the car's fixed I'll try again while 
moving but I'd say we can't complain about the coverage where it is right 
now. Unfortunately I can't try it again for I figure at least a week, if the 
problem's as bad as I suspect probably 2 weeks, head gaskets are no fun, 
thank god for warranties though we were about at the end of it on miles.
