I played a little field day from home running battery power and 25 watts.
I've only recently gotten interested in vhf. Since my HF mini beam will
load on 6, I got a kick out of working J3 on ssb and J6 on ssb and cw on 6
meters. Also worked 2 meter ssb to Conn. Not sure the distance from
Philly, but only using a small beam in the attic of a 1 story house, so
I was pretty happy.
Have fun when the openings pop up. Steve kw3a
