I tried out 6 meter Ham Radio repeaters with a simple Ham Radio Antenna on my commute to Boston and found them to work better than 2 meter repeaters. Give them a try and see for yourself!!!

Here is a look at my Yaesu FRG-770 with the FRV-7700 transverter. I bought this receiver in the early 90’s after I got my Ham Radio license so I could listen in on HF. Its not the best performing radio I’ve ever used but it still holds up pretty well after all these years.
