So my uncle and I want to communicate via 10 meter FM simplex (he has his technician and an old Radio shack 10m mobile). He lives about 150 miles away. Could we regularly reach each other on 10 meter FM simplex? We are both using 10m verticals.
I think 150 miles would be a stretch for 10 meters simplex FM.I am not saying that it cant be done ....I just dont see it being done on a regular basis.
10 meters has about the same characteristics as CB
I would think that using 2 meters and try to access a repeater that is about half way between you both would stand a better chance of reliable contacts
Tech Class call cannot use AM or FM as the freq range for those modes are only allowed above 29.0 mhz....
Best stick to SSB(28.3-28.5) or Better still CW(28.1-28.2)...
All the Best

would be great,and can run up to 1500wts as tech.I have worked mbls on 6ssb from one side of Missouri to the other and just running dipole and 100 wts,and him running a 706mk2g at 75wts and a mbl antenna...6 or 2 ssb would be the best bet,73 de JW
10 meter FM simplex depending on antenna gain, height and power would be about 90 miles under all those best conditions assuming about 100 watts.
FM repeaters ranges are about 60 mile to a mobile when the repeater is high and to mobile is on high ground.
person said he cant run 10am or fm...so the 10fm or repeaters is out,the best bet is 2 mtr ssb or 6ssb...you and him can run 1500 wts on 2 mtrs and 6mtrs all modes...73 de n0zna
