It's not the rig that determines range, it's the radio horizon doofus.

Does your handheld make 30 miles? If not what's wrong with it?

We may sail further up and my radio really has amazing range. From
Execution
Rocks I was able to speak to someone at Morris Cove without too much
trouble.


How do you know they heard you? Did they have an amazing radio also?

I was able to reach a fellow on a Columbia 36 who had initially alerted me
that
there was a guest mooring open. We spoke on channel 9, tried to switch to
68,
but there was too much chatter there.
If your rig can't make 30 miles or more, something's wrong.
