2 meter FM has been exceptional during the hours right before sunrise to about 10AM or so. I personally heard repeaters all the way from Dallas to San Antonio. I had a simplex contact in Winnie as well and several others in that general area too. Monty Weeks KI5JML On Tue, Apr 27, 2021 at 3:39

I attended via zoom. Unless it's an emergency, I don't drive at night and it would have been unsafe for me to be crossing Houston at 10PM. I counted 18 last night that attended via the same format. It's not worth the risk to be on the freeways at night. Monty KI5JML On Fri, Apr 14, 2023 at
