John,

I live in Columbia Co., FL.  I haven't seen your station but 1 time via 
RF (must of been an band opening).  Nearest digi's to you are WM3B-10 
Levy Co. (Northwest), W4DFU-10 Alachua Co. (North Northeast), and WD4WOV 
Lake Co. (Southeast).  Nearest I-Gate KC4LZN Lake Co. (Southeast) and 
KF4CHG-10 Digi/IGate Columbia Co.  You could possible hit the KC4LZN IGate.

How have you got your UNPROTO path set in UI-View?

On the UI-View Yahoo Groups files section there is documentation on how 
to setup a digipeater.  Follow the instructions on how to setup.

If you need help contact me off list direct kf4chg at gmail.com.  Ocala 
area needs a digipeater.  That is if you are willing to run it 24/7.
