I assume you're referring to 146.475. 2 meter FM simplex.

It can be amazing what Troposphereic ducting can provide on vhf/uhf. One thing to look forward to in the mornings and evenings during the hot summer months.

Check out the aprs map. This can give you a real time look at what "should" be happening.
