This is a little snippet of a PMR contact I had with a good radio friend of mine in France.
Mr Jacky 14-FRS-119 is located in Quinéville, France and on the 18th May 2020 we made a two-way contact on Channel 7 PMR 446 on two half-watt handhelds during some very good tropospheric ducting.
My radio was the Floureon FC200 (500mw) and Jacky was using the Retevis RT45 (500mw) and we successfully made it a two-way during those conditions.
Just thought i'd share the video.
Best 73'
Mike 26-CT-1074.

Tropo conditions have been good around your area today, well done. Those Floureon radios certainly work well 👍

I haven't heard of the Floureon brand before but it certainly looks good. The furthest I've got with a legal (0.5 Watts) PMR radio is about 1 mile but that was in an urban environment so hopefully it will be a lot better from the hill-tops.

Great contact, 446 is an excellent band and this shows what can be done. It is a pity we cannot use larger antennas and have more power (legally)

Hi fantastic contact, is channel 7 subtone 00 used for DX in UK? 73 from 1 division

No tones or codes usually if you’re trying for a bit of dx. 73’ all the best.

Just bought one of these. Seems you live in Brighton as me. Perhaps we can try a qso when I get mine. That's an amazing contact. Guess you had some tropo helping you that day though you are obviously high asl

Oh yes tropo was sky high that day, had been for a couple of days as well during that week. Most definitely I’ll keep an ear out for you on PMR and have a chat when you’re sorted :)
