Simplex to Hilton Head

This afternoon, several of us here in Savannah carried on a QSO with Ted, KJ4EGZ while he was in the Spanish Wells area of Hilton Head. Along with Bob, W4WTO and Guy, K4GTM, I talked to Ted on 146.520 using the JTB4 triband vertical (tips out at just over 20ft). Bob was mobile in the Wilmington Island area and Guy was at home in the Sandfly area.

At one point, when he was on top of the bridge on Highway 278, Ted was even able to talk to Ryan, KJ4EIC in Hinesville on 146.520.
