#tk790 #arpsc

Worked the weekly Washtenaw (Ann Arbor MI, EN82) #ARPSC net on #N8DUY at 30 mw on 2 meters #QRPPP , while parked atop the Maynard St parking garage in downtown Ann Arbor. "Loud and clear" the report from net control. I had line of sight to the repeater.

Now I want a cross-band repeater in an HT or mobile rig, so that I can park the car on top of the structure near the @workantile coworking space, and then work the net from inside the office (where it's warm).

For completeness, here's some previous blog posts about the #N8DUY repeater and #ARPSC net activities, and local #Skywarn activity re #miwx .
