Jordan - you should try both the 446.400 (now on LaCumbre Peak) and 145.180 (new antenna) repeaters since the upgrades. I'd be curious to know if you can get in from your location. Some people who could not get in before are having success on 5watt HT's. (I don't recall if you were using the 220 repeater on LaCumbre but the remote base isn't there any longer.)

Hello friends, I have been off the air for a while now as I built my new
shop/garage/office and the time has come to get the radios set up in my
new office space. It is a steel building with a steel roof and I am
wondering if anybody has any experience with how to work around that. My
last location was a regular stick built house with my home made j pole
on the roof for VHF and a K8NDS style helically wound magnetic loop for
HF also mounted on a pole about 3 feet off the roof.
I am sure I can't be that close to the steel structure, but looking for
any knowledge or first hand experience anybody is willing to share with
me.
Thank you
