Re: 220 repeater WA7PFB 223.9 - 88.5

I tired using my Buddipole in 1/4 wave vertical configuration with my 5 Watt HT.  But could not hit the repeater.

Have no problems reaching the W7WRG repeater on 224.580 located up on Haystack with just the HT's antenna.

Looks like your repeater is deaf to the north Paul..

Just tried it at 21:42 PST

I couldn't hit it from with my HT in my yard (QTH is a mile or so off of Big Rock and Odell)  If I had an antenna with gain I may have, but this is the stock TH-D74 rubber duck so no joy. :-(

Paul,

 

Similar to Lou and Jim I only have a 5 watt HT with a Tri-band Nagoya NA-320 triband antenna. Unfortunately, with my setup I cant trigger the repeater from my QTH up near the high school.  

 

So great that you’re setting this up!

Like Lou, I only have a 220 HT, so limited to 5 watts and a "dummy load antenna".

I did hear the repeater ID itself while in Downtown Duvall this afternoon, but was unable to hit the repeater from there or from my home QTH east of town.

I am thinking I can setup my Buddipole Antenna tomorrow and try again.  But don't have test equipment for 222 Mhz, so will be a challenge getting antenna tuned...

I'll give it a try as well, but only have 220 on my HT so not sure I'll hit it.

Thanks!

Nice! I’ll give it a try tonight from my home QTH.
