Watching all sorts of radio related videos I came across a clip where some guy hit a repeater 100 miles (160 Km) away with a handheld Yaesu FT-60 on 10 milliwatt settings with a REGULAR antenna, then had a live voice contact as well!
That is so cool! Unbe-friggin'-lievable!
Of course, he did it from some very high mountain top (2076m high), but still, it's pretty amazing! Or is it fake? Can those radios be set to such low power level at all? Sounds very interesting. 100 miles with 0.01 Watt? Wow! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz5F1QWZ_a0
