[SixClub] Minimum Reliable 6M Propagation?

[Larry Brown]

Doc last year when things were DEAD I managed roughly 40 miles mobile to 
base on SSB but I'd say 25 miles mobile to base(vertical omni ant)SSB 
dependably.

FM mobile to base maybe 20 miles. I admit to using a 2m 5/8 wave mag-mount 
on the truck so a proper antenna should have upped those ranges a good bit.

Just the observations of a 6m rookie in the Bluegrass.

73 and God bless!
