Ok I've figured this much out.  From here to the repeater it is all flat
land, like fields for farming and stuff.  It's a small town so not many
high buildings and such.  I looked on map quest and from here to there
is 18.5 miles, but that is taking the roads.  so if you went like the
crow flies I'm not sure how much it would be.  But does anyone think I
could hit this?  I'm trying to get one of the guys from the club to come
out and see what he can hit.  
 
Thanks,
Holly
