Had some good TROPO enhancement (N/S path) Saturday morning while driving back from Chicago. (7am-10am EST)
I had my 20-year-old Yaesu FT2900 /80w 2m FM rig with my marginal Diamond Tri-band 6/2/1.25 antenna/ mag mounted behind the cab.
Made several contacts in the 100+ mile range while driving.
"FNB's got it going on... Hell Ofa, mobile signal" was one contact 97+ miles away.
Then they started coming out of the woodwork! FUN Stuff...Worked another mobile running 25w from about 60+ miles away.
Made maybe 10-12 contacts in the 60+ to 100+ miles away from the mobile...then construction and traffic got heavy and had to stop.
I was on I/65 South-bound from Rensselaer, IN to Lebanon, IN when had to stop chatting. Contacts were to all around Indianapolis and East and South of Indy 30+ miles...
All the Best
