what is the name of that long antenna ?
-
I heard some chatter on .52 about someone in their garage making a long range contact. I'm in Elk River, MN.

10 meters was REALLY open today about 1800 central, I was listening to a guy in Sao Paul, Brazil when I was mobile. My farthest contact so far is 1200 miles mobile on 10, never had a DX contact on 2m though.

that should be great :-)

How far does that handheld normally transmit? Any further than a CB radio?

@jernito Very much the same range on ground wave as a CB hand held radio but it does have SSB mode and that gives you a little more range like it would on CB also. The antenna is the main thing, if you hook it up to a base station antenna, it would work even better. When the band is open however, I can talk several hundred miles by skip, like you can on CB also except not as congested on ham so easier to work them.

Awesome Im still somewhat new to ham radio only had my ticket a few years but never worked any skip on the 2 metre band as yet. Thanks for sharing it just goes to show what you can do on these small radio's

@darynsax Sounds great, it can be a lot of fun working tropo on 2 meters. Range is extended out much longer than what you might be used to most of the time.

@CalAir1545 I was using a Yaesu VX-5R running at maybe 4 watts output or so, I should have tried low power, I bet it would have still worked as good as the signals were that night.
