KO4ZSY β FIRST 200+ MILE CONTACT!
(Research Triangle Park, NC)
With the new 2m/70cm NMO mount antennna on the ICOM IC-705, I got my first 200+ mile contact!
Had a crystal clear connection from Sterling, VA, to Research Triangle Park, NC. We talked on FM simplex (147.300 MHz) between my ICOM IC-705 and his Kenwood tranceiver.
