To hit the repeaters 150 miles away. ?? I havent done so from here, but from previous locales I did that. Of course, right now I have a 8 element 2 meter Quagi, but that is for DXing.( along with the 11 element 440). Very easy to homebrew and can just throw them in the back of my pick me up, and head to the hills for some topping.

I nonomally hit repeatrs at 60-100 miles away with the hand held antenna here in the shack, in the basement. Putting a small verticle up on the roof, attached to the vent pipe usually works well. -- Andy
