HI folks, GOt to make a business trip to that part of the world sometime next couple of months. Any suggestions for good 2m repeaters as well as 440 mhz machines there? Yah I know, we could yahoo or google from the public library but I"d rather hear from folks who are actually users waht's really happening there. I find the known database sources dubious at best with systems coordinated that will never actually get on the air and old coordinated repeaters that no longer exist. NEw ORleans is a perfect example of this, even before Katrina. 73 de nf5b Richard Webb, Electric Spider Productions, Eads Tn.
