Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can find it. WRPC505,  i'm just off FM 2657 probably not too far away

 

I live near the Kempner VFW, just off Boys Ranch Road in a RV/mobile home park just off 2657 and behind Kempner Oaks Baptist Church. It's in a bit of a hole, but not too bad. I was able to reach the Troy repeater from that hole; that's nice coverage. I may look into a base setup with at least a J-pole as the antenna, but that's down the road a little bit.

There's a repeater in Troy that has a lot of coverage.  I can hear it most of the way down 36 between Belton and Gatesville.  I start hearing it where 130 meets 35 but not fully clear until the 35 rest stop. 

 Never had any luck with the Oglesby repeater. 

 

 

I live just south of Copperas Cove and about a mile SE of Kempner. Good to know about Oglesby as well as the Troy repeater (which I didn't see anything about). What's the frequency pair and tones for Troy? I know the info for Oglesby, assuming the information listed in the Repeater section is current.

@Sshannon It would be interesting to find out how well FM might work on the other FM bands.
