This is really for my own sake and probably not useful to others. Some geekery around local ham repeaters.
Signal reports are from a discone in my attic. Coverage predictions are from Radio Mobile Online, and bake in a whole lot of assumptions for something I generally don't have many details for, so don't take them with any seriousness.
Boston, 145.23
-105 dBm or so. A close-in hill leaves the signal a lot weaker here than it would otherwise be.
http://web.archive.org/web/20010124070500/http://www.barc.org/barc/repeater.html had a lot more information than the current site.
Danvers, 145.47
-92 dBm on new feedline (was -97 dBm)
Waltham, 146.64
-94 dBm
https://walthamara.org/about/repeaters/
Quincy, 146.67
-99 dBm
https://mmra.org/repeaters/QCY/
North Reading, 146.715
-90 dBm
Hollis, 146.73
-93 dBm with more noise than I'd expect
Boston, 146.82
-109 dBm (weaker than I'd expect)
https://mmra.org/repeaters/BBY/
Derry, 146.85
-91 dBm
Pembroke, NH, 146.94
-108 dBm. Honestly surprised it makes it down here.
Westford, 146.955
-80 dBm.

Paxton, 146.97
-108 dBm. Fairly weak here due to local topography.
https://www.cmara.org/meetings/presentations/Paxton_Repeater_Presentation.pdf -- says about 30W out. TX at 100', RX at 250'.
Blue Hill, 146.985
-105 dBm
Nashua, 147.045
-87 dBm
Billerica, 147.12
>-80 dBm
Marlboro, 147.27
-87 dBm received
