[VHFcontesting] Farthest FM Contact

[Dan Evans]

Absolutely!

I have a group of local friends that enjoy finding me in different 
grids, but are "anti-contesters".....  Even though some of them have SSB 
capabilities, we often make our contacts on FM simplex.  One of them 
runs a pair of CC 13B2's at 70' and 100 watts out.  We can make some 
pretty long distance contacts.
