KC I wish you were in 2M or 73CM talking distance, You know of the west link? We need an east link.
For those who don't know what the west link is... It is a link of 144 Mhtz repeaters between Texas and California, hams have been talking on this 2000 mile link with FM radio for about 20 years. I don't want to blow my horn to loud but you guys out there would not be talking on the internet if it wasn't for us hams and packet radio,,, we HAMS invented IP!
