People joke but from the top of a decent mountain I can reach 45 miles into the bay area from me on a $150 2m radio in my truck with rooftop antenna.

That is so cool. If I had that (truck+radio) I'd be very tempted to scatter a few cheap relay nodes at good locations in the bay area. Monkeybrains+comcast is quite reliable.
