That's a very interesting posting of the repeater(s) you were aware of and
worked reliably from some 90 miles away in Texas. Perhaps you could provide us
some of the parameters of the installation, like the receive antenna used at
the 1000' level, the type converter used to convert the received signals to 10
M , the transmit antenna (any one will do) at 500', the coax used to connect it
to the transmitter, and the PO of the transmitter. I'm not sure I understood
you correctly about the coax downlead you indicated was connected to the
receive antenna, was it RG-58 from the top of the tower to the receivers below
or some other type coax? Also what was the PO of the GE mobile you were using?
Thanks
