[aprssig] Anyone in or around Ames, IA?

[Lonnie Kuhn]

Scott, What towns would be close to the area? I have my echolink up, 
however, I am very unfamiliar with that area.  If you could give me a couple 
towns or something that would be close, that may have repeaters in them, 
then maybe I can shoot off a couple times to see if I can get a response.
