I just charged up one of my batteries, I'll be making some noise sometime, somewhere.

Hmmm....

I called on the Taunton repeater as I passed through the area. No response. I heard K1BOS on the Boston repeater as I arrived at my destination in Norwood and called, but apparently I wasn't making the repeater. I tried Wrentham but I think I heard that it was down.

Tried the Boston repeater again from some very good vantage points while southbound on Route 1. No responses...

Until and unless we finally get a linked repeater down here on Cape Cod I guess I won't be able to try again for a while. Ah well...

I could hit Marshfield from here as I have a yagi pointed up that way, but the GTX I'm using is offline right now. I'll get it fired back up and try again soon. I just figured being mobile I might actually get in. However, it sounds like the built-in mic on my MTX9250 is not working properly. I didn't bring the external mic with me, which sounds fine. Ugh.

I missed you Scott by a few minutes. I was talking on Marshfield with Bob KA1BBU, then Jeff N1ZZN for a short blast and then heard John before I headed into work.
