Need some help for Ham radio forums in our PNW

[Navman]

Just passed the technician and the more I know the more I realize I don't know anything.

Is there a ham forum much like we have on NWFA in the PNC?

For a good one might 146.960 off of goat MT has good reach other might be good 147.320 it also has auto patch and the other might also don't have my repeater map in front of me. But both have good reach/Distance.

Thanks coyoteman man and all, with some 450 repeaters just in Oregon with multiple frequencies and only so many memory channels, referrals help!

Go to HRO and buy the ARRL Repeater book. Get on and listen and then communicate when you find a good net.

Great link parallax, I see they have a ratings section down at the bottom.

I have an Icom W32a but recently bought the Baofeng dual band handheld on Amazon for $30

I'm using Home - CHIRP to program it, seems to be a good program.

Thanks chase, will give them a listen and close enough to go to a meeting to meet an "Elmer", still confusing to me.
