I doubt hitting it from Missouri City is possible. I am near Lakewood Church with a pretty good antenna set up. I can h barely hear it.

Could not even touch the 146.940 ARES SW repeater or the Red Cross. I want to be able to confidently reach the local emergency repeaters. To get out better, I am considering adding a Firestik antenna above my TV antenna (yes, we are cheap) for the house. This is going to involve about 75 ft of coax unfortunately. These I have found, but I am open to any thoughts. Mainly, I am looking for a used 2-m station, and was wondering if anyone has one they might want to part with. I may be open to a used (HOA discreet) antenna too. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
