I regularly talk from my house (south of Littlerock ca) to north Bakersfield with any issue (5/8 wave). Some knife edge down around Disneyland to the south. 6 element on the Flat side to Santa Maria,Ca a few times..around 140 miles...hit or miss. Back in da day back east in the mobile, Belmar...

All vans behave like tha, if your running one antenna. The sweet spot is right near the back edge every time.

Good luck with that!
