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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><br>HF works well however.
