You've got to love it !
For most of the week, well all of it actually I'm located away from home and recently i've put one my FT817ND's in the flat so I can have a tune around when I feel like it.
With 50Mhz being open a lot recently I thought I'd have a quick listen when I got in from work, it was open, and unbelieveably with just the standard antenna connected to the front panel I made a contact.
It was with IC8TEM located in JN70CN - Capri Island he was strong here (JO01IM) and gave me a 59 I returned the complement.
That was with 2.5W (max) to a rubber duck antenna indoors - a distance 1597Km as the crow flies
Not a record but pretty amazing really :)
