When we are at the Fulshear Farmers Market, we can receive the 145.49
repeater at about 1/2 scale on the S meter with a mobile radio in a car.
This is with a Larsen 2/70 mag mount on the roof. An HT will most likely
have a lower performance, especially if you use the stock antenna. I
don't remember trying to reach the 147.200 repeater in Katy other than
when my antenna was at 23 or 40 feet above the ground. HTs can surprise
you sometimes if you find a sweet spot in your yard. If you have time,
please join us at the Fulshear Farmers Market this coming Saturday, and
we can run through various frequencies. We will be there Saturday from 9
to 1.

Afternoon,
I am a new Ham( got my tech license yesterday) and got my first HT
today. I am wondering if there are any frequencies I can monitor to listen in
and understand the various intricacies involved in amateur radio. I live in
Fulshear which is further west to Katy and not sure if there are any repeaters
that reach this side of town.
Thanks in advance,
