Lane, what frequency are you trying to go on'? Houston has a waiting list for VHF and UHF is pretty full. I think if you look around Houston proper is covered fairly well. Look at the www.txvhffm.org web site. You can do search's there. If you would like to set up and play there are several UHF back yard repeater pairs you can coordinate on. Try making contacts on the repeaters in your area to check their coverage and usage. You may find that Houston has extremely good coverage. If you really want something up on the air try 900 or 1.2

I live in Houston and have an excellent area for putting up a repeater *if* one is needed, but how do I go about finding out if one would be useful to others and on what frequencies. There are lots of repeaters here in Houston and I'd hate to saturate or further complicate anything if that would be the case. Any help, suggestions, advice much appreciated.
