It rained and now he can not hear me, but I can hear him fine on either
rig
Hi
Either his receiver is dead or it is suffering interference.

Now that is an idea I have not explored.

A six meter repeater was just put on the air about 5 miles from him and
sometimes there is a power pole that generates enough noise at the repeater
site it desenses the repeater receiver. We are working with the power
people now.
We do not hear it on the repeater, but an AM receiver pickes it up very
well.

I am sure it is not this noise as it is too far away, but he may have a
local source that is causing a problem.

If the 6 meter receiver has a noise blanker, he could be hearing so
much noise that the receiver acts like there's nothing to hear.
