Subject: Re: [BVARC] Looking for a 2-meter

Info on the 146.640.  https://www.w5rrr.org/repeater-information/   It is only 
90 feet in the air. 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.

I have been testing out my equipment against the emergency nets, and find my 
reach to be pretty weak from the house (50 W from the Car); Missouri City.  
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.
