Newbie/Question on north county Freq.

[TMILLS]

My wife and I decided on getting our Ham license for Emergency situations. We live in Temecula and I work in Oceanside(about 30 miles from each other). Looking on getting a couple Yaesu FT-60R for us both and upgrading rubber duck.

I'm probably getting a little ahead of myself but was wondering what repeater would work best for us at that range and area??? Would it be the Palomar Mtn. repeater or maybe something more north???

Thanks

My understanding is that most of the Palomar repeaters are shadowed to the north. Its hard for anyone to tell you what you can hit from any particular location. In addition to Palomar, there are public repeaters in Fallbrook and Escondido that you could use locally. Not sure what is in the local temecula area. Keep searching for repeater listings, and when you get your license/radios, give them a try.
