Another fellow about 125 miles away experimented with me on 75 meters 
during a summer evening in conditions we would not have wanted to 
operate in otherwise.  We were surprised to find that fading was more of 
a problem.

The only issue run into is there's only a small group of people using it so it's often hard to find someone else on to talk to. I find It works best on the higher (and quieter) frequencies such as 20m and up. So you have to catch an opening and find people that are the right distance away and monitoring in FreeDV mode.
