A 1/2 wave telescoping antennae is next on my list.
I have plans on a lot better antennae hooked up via coax.
Thinking about a copper j pole just for kicks mounted on a camera tripod.
I have been able to talk from my back yard to Mt Rainier with the V86 already.
Helps that I can see the mountain.
Aprox 40 miles I believe.
