I do not. I'm in the Western Mountain area closer to the Idaho Border. It was sighted by Great Falls and South towards Billings.

Welcome from the high western colorado rockies. Enjoy the learn/sharing. if you read whats in the radio sections you will quickly get some HF comms going too and talk all over the west and a fair amount of east of the Mississippi. And thats only the beginning !

      Ok, I’m 30mi south. There are some regular guys on hf up there. Not Brushbeater guys though. I wouldn’t know any UHF/VHF stuff up there.

      If you have HF, listen to the Montana traffic net every night at 1730 local. 3910mhz. Listen up for when your town is called and you will hear who is out there. There is a handful of regulars (from your area) that move to a different freq and rag chew. They would help you out in your journey.
