Hey, I am in Kentucky not real far from Nashville. Do you know anything
about the 440 mhz repeaters used for Skywarn and how far their coverage
is? I am trying to decide what I need to reach those from my house in
terms of equipment.

Where in Kentucky are you?

I have to be honest not been all that impressed by the coverage of the
Nashville Skywarn repeaters. But I don't have a very high UHF antenna.
I'd think if you could get something 25-30 feet in the air you ought
to be able to hear at least one of them reasonably well. Assuming you
aren't any further north than Russellville or Hopkinsville.

ALso, what is your web page about it says something abotu tv dxing. How
does that work?

Are you the same guy who asked that question in private email this
morning? (if not, then let me know & I'll answer here)
