Looks like DX packet clusters are not as popular as they used to be. In Hampton Roads…. you can’t get there from here. Here’s what I found in VA:

* 144.93 – C W4FEG-6, then DXC (W4FEG,Goochland) Need to logout of both W4FEG-6 and DXC.
* 145.67 – C N2QT (N2QT,Lynchburg)
* 145.59 – C DXJACK (N2QT, Jack Mountain)
* Telnet to dxc.w4ml.net or 24.125.165.237
THANKS to N4DEN for keeping our cluster in top shape!!!!!!!
So – I think Richmond is my closest spot. To make this doable, I think I’d need a yagi here at the house and then set up a packet station here to use as a relay.
