Hello I am a new ham and i have a friend in
Parkersburg, West Virginia. He has a 2 meter radio and echolink.

I do not have echolink.

Does anyone know of a repeater close to where I am, that I
would be able to hit with my 2 meter radio Radio Shack HTX 202 144-148 MHZ.

First congrats on getting that ticket!

I believe you are out of luck. Get a repeater directory for starters.

Wait, try here first:
