The VX-5R is a 50 MHz radio and I worked a guy, KG4YUK in EM74, about a
month ago who was on a VX-5R and a dipole in his attic.  I live in LaPorte
TX, EL29 so the line of sight for this contact was about 500 miles.  The rig
on my end is a FT-736 (barefoot) and a CC A-50-3 yagi @ 25' and I have the
QSL card.

I see you're in the UK and I don't know who much 50 MHz FM work y'all do but
there is some FM activity in the US.  We have three 6 meter repeaters in the
Houston area.
