More 2 meter band opening let us listen to #KB8EOC (the "Tiffin repeater") here in Ann Arbor until about 810a local time, and then that interference on 145.15- #N8DUY disappeared on our morning roundtable.

Some question about the impact of wildfires on VHF propagation.

The "Tiffin repeater" is Bascom, OH, Seneca County, #KB8EOC . 145.15- with a 107.2 PL

Listening now on #Broadcastify

Bob #WD8PIC is about half way between this repeater and Ann Arbor's #N8DUY and he can check in to both depending on how he sets PL.

fun with #vhfdx

@W8HF There was noise on the Ann Arbor 5.15 (Washtenaw County, #N8DUY, EN82cg, PL 100) repeater, which we usually attribute to Tiffin, Ohio (Seneca County, #KB8EOC, EN81id, PL107.2) but could also be Battle Creek MI (Calhoun County, #W8IRA, EN72kg?, PL 94.8).

The effect gets described as "motor boating", perhaps when there's doubling on the input?

It looks like I could plausibly listen to the W8IRA net using Echolink W8IRA-R (node 974494) or Allstar, node 472440.
