Practice. Move to an area. Program the local repeater and simplex frequencies in your radio or scanner.
Listen.
What do you hear?
Unless you find yourself in a major metropolitan area, pretty much nothing. Kerchunks? Repeater Identification?
It works like this. If you are going to put something up, have people monitoring it. One can't answer a MayDay, if one does not hear it.
Does the club NEED the added expense of maintaining an additional repeater when the primary repeater sits unused and unmonitored?
How much is too much?
