Yep, I use a mkIIg turned down as low as it will go, and constantly bring up Kevin's Mays Hill repeater (KQ3M I think?) from my QTH in Stafford, VA while trying to access our local machine. I also seem to open his machine a lot running mobile from around 40 miles South of Wash. - D.C. I have run a path profile, and we do not have "line-of-sight", not even close!! Must be ducting or something. Frequently I hear his at S-7 or more!!
Sorry to be a pest Kevin.. Lots of un-explained things in this world, we just try to live with each others "contribution".
