IC-9700, 2 Meter VHF Opening, SSB Contacts Statewide

This morning was a good opening for tropo ducting on 2 meter VHF. I worked about 6 contacts on SSB, across the state from North to South Florida with my 13 element Cushcraft yagi and 115 watts. You do not need this much power or this kind of antenna, the guy I talked to in Panama was using 50 watts and the contact in Jacksonville worked him at 5 watts over 100 miles.. If the band is open, the band is open. I tried the best I could with the sound, and I had JUST WOKE UP, so give me credit :) SUBSCRIBE to HRC Check out my videos on the new Icom ic-9700 SUPPORT my channel on patreon.com/hamradioconcepts
