I got 50 watts through 5 dB at 900 feet ASL. I can hit repeaters just outside of Philly. Dude we can do this.
Give me a few to try with offset and PL.
I just got in.
Not sure where you wanna talk?

There is a 146.73 machine just north of Wilmington, DE I can get into very well with 5 watts, pl is 131.8 (-.600 offset).
Something in the Kennet Square area would be perfect for us.
I'm not up on what is what around here. I'm assuming the 6.73 machine is where it's been for the last 10 years.

there's supposed to be a machine in Parkesburg but I can't bring it up. It might have a pl? I'll have to listen to that freq to see if it's active.

I think we'll need some kind of linked system to get in contact.

Not really.
I'm in Northwest NJ and I get in to repeaters 70 miles away just fine.
Eastern PA is only 20 or so miles away from me too.

When I get home tonight, I will plug it in and see if I can get into it cleanly.

( 9 s units sometime and down to 1 s unit at times. Perhaps it is better at night? I suspect there is a pl on it. Will continue to try to crack it.
Ryan, there is a repeater here that is linked to many others. I will look into it and find out what is what.

I'm gonna have to look into a linked repeater here and try to find how far north the links go.

I thought the w3qv repeater in Roxborough was linked to some other repeaters farther north but it looks like I'm wrong. It only has some local satellite input locations.

ATS:
I got into the 146.985 repeater in Parkesburg which is east of Lancaster. The pl is 100hz. I talked to Joe w3gms who is the owner and he said the repeater is open to all amateurs. See if you can hit it.
