Our Ham club had gotten permission to operate from a 5000 foot elevation state park for field day this year.... due to a reported spike in Covid 19 we decided to call the group field day off for this year.... My wife and I spoke with several Hams on the local 2 Meter repeater last night who had operated field day solo.
We heard reports of simplex 2 Meter contacts, both FM and SSB being made to well over 100 miles from operators who drove up to overlook areas here in the NC Blue Ridge Mountains..... I may need to give that a try..... I'd like to try a hitch mounted mast with a yagi 2 meter antenna.
