Gayle, the best frequency for contacting BVARC members is 146.34/94 but
depending on where you are, you may not be able with a hand held and a rubber
duck. You will do better with an outside fixed or mobile antenna and somewhat
better with an aftermarket hand held antenna that is longer and about $50. You
can get antennas and good advice at River Oaks Stereo which is not too far from
where you live. Contact either Dwayne or Eddie. Eddie Runner is the boss and
is often very busy, but Dwayne is not so busy and more available, but Eddie is
a great guy too and will help you if he can. The repeater is at 700 feet on
the channel 13 backup tower in DeWalt

Hello BVARC,
My radio is Alanco DR-635 dual band 2m 70cm and I was wondering what
frequencies can I contact on I only have 2 good ones.
So far I have:
UHF: BVARC 146.940-, Saltgrass 146.920-, and ocasionally but rough to hear
Rosehill 146.420-
VHF: 444.300- (but don't know if I can talk on because no one has yet responded
to my calls even during a net.... at least yet)
Are the any other stations other than 3 that I might be able to two way on
regularly?
Please advise.
