Except when I go over to Wisconsin and run with the Clearwater guys & gals, they seem to like Ch 7 there! Quote

Makes a good case for avoiding repeaters and simplexing with your group. Those repeaters are going to burn up with traffic with the next hurricane -- if they are still standing. I am super grateful to the owners / operators of our local repeaters. They dedicate lots of time and money making these repeaters go, and in return they seem to put up with a lot of BS. Way more than I could LOL Who knows what can happen or how long a disaster will last. So for any emergency comms planning it's good to have one plan for repeaters being functional and another if you are limited to simplex. Quote
