<div dir="ltr">I also don't see an issue once a beam is in place either, I understand about the mountains, I have a good friend that lives in pike county Matamoras PA that I would like it like to be able to work regularly, but he has the highpoint state park mountain blocking him from my direction, so it doesn't make much sense to put 100watts or more into a mountain. I've typically worked into virginia & northern north carolina under flat conditions on ssb, before I had the amp in line & even had a gentlemen from Kentucky send me cw under the same flat conditions and I heard it fairly well, it was an s1 but it was readable. I'm surprised this 2m7 has turned out to be such a small gem.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 23, 2015 at 11:08 AM, George Andrews <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gandrews@ntplx.net" target="_blank">gandrews@ntplx.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="white" link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">I think communication should be possible with the beam. RXF is 233 miles, FSY 160 miles. I was able to go those distances on SSB. I don’t remember FM results. Bob and I communicated from his station to my mobile (with halo) well into NH. I think he was running over 400 W or more into an H frame. It is difficult getting out of this area except for S/SW. There are mountains all around except for S/SW. I can’t reach the Mt. Washington repeater from mobile until I go about 25 miles S or N of my location. Although I am on a hill with some elevation, it is still on the side of a hill. I am on the west side of Pike Hill which I think is part of the problem.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><br>HF works well however.
