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

Not to go too far off-topic, but I think the Heavy Hitters net refers to
the traffic net that meets on a variety of local repeaters:
https://ema.arrl.org/heavy-hitters-traffic-net/ (seems like the EMA section
site is temporarily broken?)

Unless the name is overloaded (very possible), it’s not a network of
repeaters as such, but a traffic net that meets on some repeaters that are
temporarily linked together. I don’t think the 70cm repeaters you mentioned
are used by Heavy Hitters net.

73,
Matt, N1ZYY
