If you have a few minutes this Saturday, around 1015-1045h, we would
appreciate your help checking potential frequencies we might be use from
Powell Butte.  We'd like to check coverage using 147.32, 146.88, 146.62
(simplex, for this test) from various spots in the PB potential coverage
area. Data from this radio check will help Max work with ORRC to choose
our repeater frequencies, for 2M anyway. Mike Smith and I will be atop
Powell Butte checking various signal strengths from 50w mobiles and 5w HT.

Potential coverage area is (per Max, ORRC):
Covers most of Central Oregon from WarmSprings south to Hwy-58 junction.
Up into the mountains to the West past Sisters and East past Hampton.

Your help would be appreciated, particularly if you're on the outskirts
of this area.

73 and thanks,

Buzz & Mike  - KB7FD/AE7GC
