I'd like to welcome Karl to the group. He's a personal friend and the owner of the SRG repeater. (Don't call him a ham, he prefers amateur radio operator)
Anyway, the SRG repeater covers eastern Washington from the cascade crest to the Montana state line as well as southern British Columbia. It's an amazing system. No irlp or echolink so you can't get in if you're out of the area.

Welcome. I don’t have a HAM license, but I should work on getting one. My wife’s family is in BC- maybe we could reach them

The reason for signing up is the tones required for access aren't public, to help keep the trouble makers out. Signing up is free but donations are gladly accepted and encouraged, there's quite a bit of expense involved in tower space and maintenance.
Even when you get licensed, you wouldn't be able to use the repeater since thers no Internet access such as echolink, irlp, etc. so you have to be in the coverage area. 2 meters is line of sight with the exception of tropospheric ducting and that's not common or normally really long distance. The furthest tropo I've experienced was about 700 miles into Marin county California.

Hi folks thanks for the welcome. In the event there's some discussion on the AR-15 I'll check them out. On the amateur radio subject, Tom is correct. If you want to know more (or email me) please visit the web site. https://www.srgclub.org

Down in this part of the world (NE Texas) we have a club called Radio Amateurs of Cass County, and we run the Freedom Link system of repeaters that covers NE Texas, NW Louisiana, SW Arkansas and SE Oklahoma.
