Collin I can remember an incident where I was performing a react function on 
channel 9 when I heard report of an accident.  I took down the information 
and I checked with the state police, the map coordinates indicated that the 
accident location was in central Indiana.  The station I was talking with 
was pounding in and even though I was talking over 150 miles, nothing 
happened because I was trying to render assistance.  11 meters is like 10 
meters when it's open, you could work the world on a wet noodle hi hi 73-
