In my state we used to have a decent group on 2 meter simplex. Horizontal FM only.
I ran a 2m7 on a rotor. Other guys ran stacked 2m9's or stacked loops if they didn't want to mess with a rotor. The king of the frequency ran 3 stacked 2m9's with a beko LDMOS amp that did 1KW+. I can only imagine what his ERP was with all that gain. Every once and awhile we would get in to shoot outs to see who could "wam-bam" who. Ya most of these guys where old CBers

Biggest signal to your radio wins in FM. And there is no question who that is with the capture effect because the other guy is just gone.
