My personal best, without tropo enhancement, is 43 miles between Green Brook, NJ and Point Pleasant Beach, NJ on an HT. Our machine is at almost 550ft ASL with minimal terrain to the East and South, so depending on location you can have a straight shot to the repeater for many miles.

 

With tropo I've heard a repeater full quieting somewhere in Virginia from Edison, NJ but I did not try to respond back.

I'd be interested on the PL for that 725 repeater in Philly.  I've heard several repeaters in the area but no real chatter on any of them.  :-(  Maybe I'm listening at the wrong time (most likely)...

 

Thanks,

David

I am in NE Texas between I20 and I30 Near Lake Fork. I hit a guy in South Oklahoma a few weeks ago on a hand held Baofeng BF-F8+.

That is over 90 miles from me. There is a repeater between us but that is still a stretch. The Purley Tower is one of our best towers.
