You are in between the K1XC (Orlando) and KJ4ACN
Lakeland repeaters. You could also try the W4AES
repeater on 145.290 also in Orlando.
Some users in the WDW area can even hit the W4PLB
repeater north of Orlando on 145.150 It is
located in Sanford FL but is on top of a high tower.
It also depends on how high up the location you
are transmitting from as there are many low spots
that do not have a clear path even though the
terrain seems flat. Central Florida has many
Ridge lines and buildings that obstruct these low spots.

I spent a week in Kissimme, FL and could hit no repeater. I did see my
call show up at K1XC but I don't think I could hear it. I was staying
in the Walt Disney resort area and had programmed both my 91AD and 880.
I think that area is about 30m from the nearest repeater but it is flat
and to high up requires either a building or a tower.
Is the coverage that poor there?
