What I wanted most of all was
a list of GOOD repeaters, ones with activity on them, between Vancouver and
the border of Alaska. I'll worry about Anchorage when I get there.

How about it; any recommendations for "good" repeaters?

Well Jim, this is way off topic for this newsgroup but I don't think on
any 2M repeater, except those in very large cities, will you find too much
activity. AFAIAK 2M repeaters are "ham radio telephones". Most of the time
folks call only those they know and talk to only those they know. A bit of
a "club" thing really.

I have never found 2M to be much good on the road except for the odd
occasion - much prefer mobile HF CW and have had MUCH better luck getting
QSO's going doing that than I ever did while travelling with my VHF rig
alone. For what it's worth - just my opinion.

Also, as you know the population density in Canada, especially northern
Canada is significantly less than in the USA so there will always be less
activity than you may be used to.
