I have no problem checking into the BVARC PSN with my ICOM W32A in Deer
Park, with ETA to be 35 miles line of sight from Deer Park.
However did not check in last night due to weather, so don't know if I
would have had the same problems..
Would really like to check in on my 50 watt Kenwood TM-G707A, but sister
does NOT PERMIT antennas on her house (Worse situation than HOA issues
reported by others.).

I have been trying to check into the net since it start and everybody keeps
walking over my 5watt Motorola HT1250 handheld from Pasadena..this is crap!! My
94 in Beaumont can hear the same HT 25 miles away yet this damn pos at 800ft
can't hear me in Pasadena?? Wth??
Also why aren't portables called first?? Most VHF nets I know call portables
first then mobiles.. calling both makes HTs compete with full power mobiles and
that's not right!
Meanwhile someone fix the damn rptr!! It's an alligator with poor ears.. I run
the same Kenwood on the Vidor 94 and it's balanced for 40w mobiles.. The
Houston 94 is crap compared to what it USED to be.. if I could hear it I could
work it.. but NOW it can be half scale and 40w can't even talk to it..
That's piss poor rptr operation
