Being inside a bowl is no place for a repeater. My house is near the river so I'm pretty low down. My shop is in one of the higher parts of the town which believe me isn't high at all. About 100' higher than my house. And the coverage is nothing to talk about. Keeps me in touch with the wife within town mostly. It will be going higher, but still it's not 500+ feet up which is what you need to start getting decent coverage in my area. To many hills and valleys along with loads of trees full of leaves to suck up the signal.
