However, I find the same thing on the local repeaters when I pass
through, although I maintain up-to-date programming in my radio and I
can hear the repeaters unkey, I don't get any answers to my calls. So
it's not just simplex.

I have noticed the same thing about repeaters when traveling. On one
occasion, I was persistent and a local came back and sed "Lots of folks
here sonny, we just don't have the time to entertain travel folks, Mostly
we talk about corn prices and hog disease."
And I am aware of some Mom and Pop repeaters -- set up for them and they
never answer others.

Funny they always answer my XYL though (;-)

That is funny, but not surprising. The female voices ALWAYS seem to get a
reply. But ya know, those "female" voices can be awfully deceiving. What you
hear, isn't always what you see. Nor does it divulge what may come along
with it.
