Yeah. It's called a decent antenna. Did you realize but for horizon effect and
lousy antennas that a 1 watt transmitter on one end and a 1 microvolt receiver on the other end has a range of over a thousand miles? Jim john smith shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: -Jim Weir wrote: - Jay, I gotta question. When we land at Iowa City, how can we call unicom ten - miles out? We've already landed. Or do you have 53,000 foot long runways? - Now, you are going to get a couple of packages in the next few days. They will - extend the range of your base station handsets out to a hundred miles or so. - Please listen for us on 122.75 before we get CLOSE to IOW. - -UhOh! It sounds like Jay may have a amplifier to hook up with the antenna! Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet soup) VP Eng RST Pres. Cyberchapter EAA Tech. Counselor http://www.rst-engr.com
