Extending Your VHF Range

Have you noticed that your VHF radio doesn’t seem to reach as far as it used to? Maybe you used to be able to communicate easily from your favorite fishing hole, but now you’re having a hard time reaching your buddies. Perhaps you’ve recently purchased a brand-new, state of the art VHF radio thinking it would increase your range, but it hasn’t. If you’ve experienced anything along these lines, it’s time to start thinking about the effectiveness of your VHF antenna.
