This morning I flipped over to the BE7RPT repeater system. They have both a UHF and VHF repeater up on, I think it's on Mount Seymour. Anyway, North Vancouver. So they asked for check-ins on the handheld. So I used my new BOW thing, what is it, AR5? I wanted to AR15, but AR5 radio. I think it puts out 8 watts. So I checked in on UHF and they said I had a really good signal with a handheld from G's. It's got to be, I don't know, maybe 80 miles, 75 miles, something like that with a handheld. Anyway, I thought that was interesting. Yeah, well I know it's possible. I was on Mount Maxwell a couple of different times up on Salt Spring Island.
