Definitely seems it .
Recently I was talking to my friend who was 27 miles away using the 9ft whip

That's a great copy. If I ever invest in a triple mag mount I may go for the tank whip

[lambrettadave]

I don't take mine apart I thread it through from the front of the car and put the magmount in to the passenger footwell, only takes a few moments to set up

Heh! That's how I put the Sirio back in the car after testing it. This weekend I will try to take it up a big hill.

[lambrettadave]

I think you will be impressed with it.
Maybe we can make a contact say Monday or Sunday

I'm not sure if I could reach your neck of the woods on 4 watts, even from the height of the Wolds but if I manage to get up there I'll certainly give it a shot.

I can get Whitby, and Carlton Bank no problem but if I can get up my local hill we could be in business.
Year's ago I copied a lady breaker on the a64 from home so it could be possible. Although she was a bit shaky about her location I asked her to qsl and she did send me details years ago.

I've posted it on the DX thread but in case my thin boasting is missed there I copied County Kerry and Derry in the North with my TX handheld and a T2LT.

Permission to look smug?

Years ago I copyed some guys in cork.

They couldn't believe me that I was sitting on the beach at St Jean du Monts in West France on my 80 ch midland portapak I too was over the moon with my contact as was my mam and dad who were quite fascinated that I could transmit that far

[scanhermit]

That's a great copy. Wonderful sense of achievement to do it QRP, eh?

[lambrettadave]

Yes it was and I was just using the original telescopic antenna too.

That's double fantastic
