Elmer? I have a question. My cute little Yaesu FT-60 can hear the weekly net on the nearest repeater pretty well, but they can't seem to hear me, on either frequency.

I've double-checked whether the offsets are + or - and I'm pretty sure the PL tones are correct.

I'm starting to think that 5 watts is not enough to reach a tower 5.4 miles away (according to Google Maps).

Anything else I should be trying? I'm thinking of driving over to tower next week....
