KMC, It might be possible with 1/4 wave and 4w. I copied the Space shuttle fine on my Icom 2AT and rubber duck. He was using a 5w HT and some kind of antenna...

Yes, Sunshine is in the San Juans. And that is why we have frequented Handies Peak for the last 4 years. Handies is 190.9 miles from Longs, and just a tad...
Paul, It would be interesting to know the maximum. I assume you are looking for the longest line of sight DX from two 14ers. There is some freeware out there...

Good discussion on the 14er distances. To answer Paul's question about what was the longest distance 14er-to- 14er contact THIS YEAR, I am not sure. Given the...
Enough people are trying to bag all 54 14ers that I would think there is away around this private land problem or they just go anyways. Phil N0KE ... From:...

I think the story is that the ranch that owns the property around Culebra will let climbers in (with a fee perhaps?) but not all times of the year. I don't...
The owners of Culebra only let climbers in one day a year, and typically, climbers must be with an organized trip from the Colorado Mountain Club, and Culebra...

sounds very cool Joe. Stay warm ! I'm in Edgewater, near Denver, so I can't get you direct from that summit. But, good luck making long range QSOs !!!! ...
Joe, The 2M FM band plan for Colorado uses 15 kHz spacings, so the next simplex frequency up from 146.52 MHz would be 146.535 MHz (not 146.54 MHz). Since 15...
Bob, not to be nit picky, BUT he can use any frequency in the two meter FM band that he wants to, (except the CW portion) but you are right that the next 15 kc...
Art, That's correct...its not against the FCC rules to use such a frequency. However, band plans are created to make the best use of the spectrum. Just like...
