Not in the northeast but down in the southeast.... Kiamichi Valley area. I have talked into the Tulsa repeater using a 25watt mobile from up on Talimena drive, 113 miles as the crow flies, with about 2,000ft in elevation. We have a club down here with a gmrs repeater... info: KARC.club, also Facebook page. It's an open repeater so if you ever recreate in the area or passing through feel free to use it.
