[bars] Heavy Hitters and inability to reach be heard by them

[Benjamin Thompson]

Hi Lizzie!

A heavy hitter I use often is

Derry 146.85 PL 85.4. It has wide coverage and is a busy repeater. with a
halfwave antenna on my HT I can work it with 5 watts from my bicycle in the
Haverhill/Boxford/ Groveland area.
