You want to stay out of CW and beacons that is sure to pissed some ppl off. CW is your weak signal folks. 

900 can get in a duct very easily and unlike VHF where signals drop over long distances they can actually go up. We have a couple weak signal guys here on 900 and even a rover active during all the contests.  I replied to you because my earlier reply to all was moderated as I'm not in the list-serv. 

We don't have any Repeater's around on the other split any where in the region. I think everything fm is 927/902 I can look to be sure in the sera book.
