I have attempted all the 2m and 70cm frequencies from downtown Niagara Falls on both 50 W and 100W with nothing returning.

The only 1.25m repeaters that I am able to key is the one across the border into the USA. All the local ones listed both on RepeaterBook and here don't seem to be returning anything. However... I'm only putting out 20-25 W.

I also had a conversation on the VE3GRW repeater with the guy who used to own the VE3PLF repeaters last week. He shut them down as he was booted out of the repeater site. He has no intention of putting them back on the air as he rents an apartment for the winter and during the summer he lives on his boat.

The only one I haven't been able to confirm is the 23 CM band.
