Today while approcahing an airport in mid SC I heard a familiar voice on the radio at a known airport location in another state at a distance of about 300 miles. I was certain who this was (I know his voice very well) and he was calling positions at the airport he is based at. I tried to respond but some local traffic (we were on 122.800) was stepping on my reply.
Is this possible? I've made contacts on my radio of nearly 100 miles but this seems extreme. But, as a Ham guy, I do know that certain atmospheric conditions can occur. I did email my friend to ask if it was really him I heard at that particular time & place. Have not heard back yet.
How far have you communicated? Do we get QSL cards for aviation contacts?![Dunno :dunno: :dunno:](/community/styles/poa/poa_smilies/dunno.gif)
