I live in Hebron and I'm in that area a bunch.  Is this the 462.700 one?  Message me the tones?

Only 15miles?  What’s the point an ht will do 50miles or more simplex.  One of our local 5w repeaters has a radius of 45miles.  I just don’t get why every one wants to flood the world with repeaters.  What local activities is this repeater supporting?

So now you’re also an expert on propagation of UHF in Connecticut? What is your need to act like such a complete douche?

Again, NOT everyone lives in the ideal location for getting extreme ranges on UHF. And no one really cares that you get 200 miles when using repeaters. And most of us are also getting very tired of your negative comments. You either live a very sad life or you need to seek professional help and get on meds.

Our GMRS repeater antennas are at 400 feet above ground and we are getting a coverage radios of 30-35 miles. This is due to the local terrain and forested areas. There is another repeater close by that haas a 50 mile radius but their tower site is at a higher level above sea level. Reception is going to be hit or miss for both repeaters depending on people's actual location. 

Most GMRS repeaters in Missouri have a coverage radius of 20-25 miles, again location and local terrain plays a big part. There are only 4-5 repeaters in the entire state that get a 50 mile radius because they are on the highest point in their area.

And 70cm repeaters do not do any better. It is the nature of UHF. Our main 70cm repeater antennas are at 900 feet above ground on the same tower as our GMRS repeater and the 70cm repeater has the exact same coverage area as the GMRS repeater with the same dead zones.

@WRJB532 Thank you for posting this for those that live in your area or for those that might be traveling through.

Yes, please list all of your intents and purposes for this repeater in alphabetical order.  This info is a great concern of mine since I live nowhere near it and have no plans to visit.   Also, I have a local repeater that only covers a half mile when the berry picking tourist decides to drag his family up here and turn it on.  Therefore, I am highly skeptical of your personal situation as you describe it. I just don't understand why nobody has common sense like me anymore!!!!
