Got my GMRS callsign (WRVX201) this morning and was able to make a contract on your 700 machine. Seems to be working great into West Fresno. Thanks to the club for setting this up and making the repeaters open to everyone. I added the frequencies for the two repeaters to my ID-5100 mobile for monitoring; I currently only have a handheld radio for GMRS transmit.

Sometimes I go up to Big Stump with the local astronomy club and I wanted to be able to communicate with my family as there is no cell service up there. GMRS and the repeaters on Park Ridge should be a good solution for this. I have yet to be able to get my wife to study for her ham ticket so GMRS will be a good solution.

Happy to hear that it covers your area and is an effective service for you. You will be very surprised how well it covers KIngs Canyon and Sequoia National Parks.
Also helps that the big stump parking lot is like 2~5 miles from the repeater, but I figured it would have good coverage up there.
