Puerto Rican GMRS repeaters

[jerrym58]

Hello, I'm just curious about this.  I would like to hear from someone in Puerto Rico on this subject.  Why are there so many GMRS repeaters in the small island territory of Puerto Rico?  A search on this site showed over 180 and there must be many more that are not registered here.   In Oklahoma, we cover most of the state with less than 20 repeaters on a local ham radio UHF linked repeater system and Oklahoma is many times larger in land area than PR.   Thanks in advance, Jerry WQWM239
