You may need to bump up your power in some areas. I find that 20 or
25 watts works well. People running TH-D7A's do well in the Seattle
and probably Portland and Vancouver/Victoria areas, but between the
major centers you're probably going to want more power to be seen.

In our NWAPRS network which covers the entire area you describe, use
"WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1".
