Hey, I am in Kentucky not real far from Nashville. Do you know

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)

Yea that was me. I did not know if that address worked or not.

I live about 10 miles north of Russellville. I would have my antenna
25-30 feet. Was going to try a gain yagi for 440.
