I'm currently visiting my mother in Haslett, MI (my hometown is East Lansing, 
but current QTH is Pasadena, CA).  I have noticed that W8FSM-4 in Lansing seems 
to be almost totally deaf!   I see it's beacons in my mobile with no difficulty 
but can't get digipeated or igated until I am within 5 or 10 blocks of it.

(Coming from Haslett, I have to get almost to the Frandor shopping center 
before it hears a 50W mobile with a hard-mount 1/2wave in the center of the 
car's roof!)   Most of the time, driving around East Lansing/Okemos/Haslett, 
the first digi has been N8OBU-5 near Dansville.
