I have a 5W HT (FT-60) with a pretty decent antenna that I've used to make some pretty long (~100 mile) simplex contacts with before from much lower elevation. Would it be best to try to contact you on the repeater first and then switch over to a simplex frequency? I'm actually attempting a SOTA (Summits On the Air) activation so I need to get at least 4 simplex contacts. Not sure if you guys would get any extra points for Field Day, but it might be fun.

Tyler:
For us, the official Field Day competition ends at 11:00AM on Sunday (or it might be 10:00AM - not sure yet). By the time the afternoon rolls around, we may have lost a lot of our members to trail runs and trips back home, but if you give us some frequencies and times, we can give it a shot. What is your call sign?
