Ok you antenna gurus, I have a funny problem. Whenever I try to reach a
certain repeater on 2 meters, (146.700-), I can't do it. The repeater is
about 25 miles from here.

If you were where your antenna is, could you see the
repeater antenna through a telescope on a clear day?
If not, what is obstructing your vision?
