442.700 Repeater Update

Last night, while on the way home from work, I was able to carry on a QSO with Guy, K4GTM and Jerry, W4SGA using the 442.700 repeater. For most of the trip, which was from Rincon to Savannah, I was receiving the repeater at 3/4 to full scale on the S-meter.

Given that the current antenna situation is a compromise (they're using a 2-meter antenna, but no reflected power problems) that wasn't bad at all. Once they get a 70cm antenna up on the tower, the coverage should improve considerably.
