First post, I poked around but did not see this answered elsewhere so apologies in advance if it's been covered before.
I am looking to get a pair of mobile units that can achieve ~40 mile range on SSB. Can this be done with a pair of 4' antennas mounted on a headache rack or the roof of our trucks? Do we need to get one of the other types of units to do this like a 2 meter or 10 meter unit?
We're running cycling events and need to be able to get the truck that goes with the race leaders to communicate with the broom wagon that can be up to 40 miles back over varied terrain like hills and small mountains or across forests.
Thanks for looking!
