Reply to: BaoFengs are fine radios, but they don’t have hundreds of miles of range Posted December 5, 2020

The only thing to disagree with is that UHF cannot penetrate buildings better than VHF, the higher the frequency the more absorbtion by dense material so VHF would have a small edge. Sometimes rarely sporadic E propagation can increase the range of VHF and more commonly temperature/ humidity Inversion make a difference on VHF and UHF so it is not difficult to make contacts into the continent well over a hundred or two hundred miles from here in England
