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

[shawn dodds1.com]

The Lowell 442.250 repeater is managed by the MMRA, and is linked in for the HHTN.  I use it regularly for HHTN.
According to mmra.org, the repeater is located at Saints Medical Center hospital in Lowell.

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.

Hello,
I recently bought a 2m antenna and successfully tried it out on Sunday's NET, so I know that I can be heard.  However, I recently added to new repeaters that have the title Heavy Hitters and though I've tried to reach each of them, have had no success.

What might be my issue, please?

MANY thanks!
