When LST-325 did their east coast tour  and passed through Buzzards Bay, I had my TBX set up on shore.  I was running it in stock condition with original antenna.  Perry, aboard LST-325 was running their TCS with a 32-foot whip, again a standard Navy installation.  At 30 miles, well past the range of 16" guns, his signal was loud and clear, and he copied me fine.  Had he been aboard NEW JERSEY, I could have directed his fire on my sister-in-law's house with no difficulty at all.
