Prior to today my best contact was at 3000 miles from Florida to just off the coast of Washington State. With average reach between 800 and 1500 miles.
Note that the solar flux was only at 80 and it can reach 200+ during the eleven year solar cycle.we are in year two of a new solar cycle.
On 12/8/21 I had my furthest radio contact yet on a mag mount 20 meter ham stick. Just north of Rome to Orlando Florida just over 5100 miles.
The bands were just right around 1040 am EST. I heard his CQ and jumped on it I was only a 5-2 to him and he was a 5-5 to me. My little 20 watt rig did me proud. Conditions here within about 1200 miles were poor for me but worke well for distance😎
