Ashley, thanks, I tried that Norwood repeater with my Kenwood HT. I could only get in if I stood at the far west corner of my back porch. That makes sense since I am in West Roxbury. Soon we should have a fixed external antennae and that should make it much better. Will try to check in when I can.

Hi Frank.
I=E2=80=99m not exactly sure what the time was. I think it was sort of = an unofficial thing because the people who usually ran it were on = vacation. Next time I hear it again I=E2=80=99ll let you know, but feel = free to jump in and say hi to me on there. 147210 PL 100.
