CQ DX, CQ DX, CQ DX, CQ DX... and done phonetically.

I almost crashed the car laughing so hard. At least there wasn't any CB
lingo or I would have crashed. Thanks ARRL, keep on pushing your dumb it
down proposals.

you sure it was a crosslinked to 10 M FM repeater I have made such
calls from2 ro 10m myself. and been answered by Russians sure it don't
count for the awards a lot of folksare after but I did not care itwas
nice to talk some folks froma great distance

It sounds like it's either a cross link like you said mark, or
echolink. My 2 meter repeater is hooked into echolink, so we have a lot
of people calling CQ all the time, and as far away as Japan.

I love the crosslinked one In stouis I could reach it from illiopolis
but I got down close enough to stl Mo to use fairly often

I admit I had not thought of echolink I have NO experence with it yet
since none of the local repatershave it and and havement had enough
time anywhere it is used to try it out

Not cross-linked on this repeater. Just a newbie. Someone corrected him.
He didn't work any DX, but got to meet some of the locals.

well, it depends really, if the bands open you can talk dx on 2 meters.
I've done DX on a 23cm repeaters talked 300 miles away. I know it's not
DX DX but it's long distance and it was neat to talk to these guys who
were in the northern part of chicago. I've also done alot of DXing on 2
meter repeaters when the bands open. talked on the St. Louis repeater,
which I can hit at home with no problem and talked to as far away as
oklahoma.
