Hello Spacemann: I'd say the 435 Zoo repeater is a lot worse than the CB radio I remember.
I have a 4 element Yagi beam antenna modified removing the Gamma Match, and installing a balanced feed Hairpin and Balun just to listen in on the 435 Zoo Repeater, it gives hours of entertainment. I believe the 435 Repeater in on Mount Lukens a well known and used mountain top site (over looking the San Fernando Valley and all of LA, and Catalina Island is easy to see,) for all kinds of radio repeaters and such. Been up there a few times working on radios and such.
I haven't tried the live audio feed yet.
