I am 3.65 miles as the (put in bird of choice) flies from Beverly Airport and my plane is buried in its new workshop. Each antenna was connected to my Icom handheld via the planes cables. Reception is excellent from the tower on 125.2 and 121.6. I can clearly hear aircraft on the ground reading back clearances, although reception is a lot weaker. On the transmit side, the Icom IC-A22 has 5.0W(PEP power) and at 12v, 1.5W(Carrier power) the tower cannot hear me but I'm really not surprised. Aircraft in the air with 2 miles +/- can hear me faintly. Probably time to move on the the next phase of the project but will still have some local hams check the vswr. Angier
