You could always eliminate the middleman and give your paycheck directly
to people who don't feel like working. Then again, the politicians
would be out of a job of skimming the cream off the top, and they would
join the ranks of people who you would be giving your paycheck to. Oh
wait, they win either way!!! Who makes these rules? Oh, wait!!! I'm
starting to understand.

But to keep this post in line with the rules,...

Here in New Hampshire, I've noticed that there are places between
mountains that we lose cell reception but VHF/UHF is fine, and vice
versa. And 6 meters is almost always better for hilly coverage. The
state police still use low band (46 MHz or so). Anyone else notice in
hilly states (Tenn, Calif, etc.) have more 6m repeaters than usual?

Why, Dan, you actually know what you are talking about this time!
Inhaling those nerve gas remnants has apparently caused your synapses
to reconnect in ways that lead to valid insights into RF problems.

Next, you'll be registering as a Republican.

Quite a common thing Dave. In fact ten meter FM is even better in hilly
terrain. The higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength. Thus it is
more subject to scatter, reflection, absorption, etc. However in some cases
you will find 70 cm is better for the urban city invironment.
