I had a wopping 13 Q's but ended up with 3687 km for a score thanks to K5TR in TX my one and only Es contact. Did anyone in the upper midwest work any TX or other staions at that distance?.... just c

Great topic. Just planning first attempt (serious) at a roves this Aug/Sept myself. For the limited rover on vhf I will use my FT-736A w/ the four lower band mods. While this took time to find all th
We use 146.46 n 146.42 almost regularly in mid EN43, and some of the guys have decent beams vertical, but nada horizontal, a couple have both. I try to mine 2m FM in the tests, but rarely get a bite.
