Radio test from iniside the mine
As you may have seen. The 2 meter radio test from inside the mine could not bounce through the mine shaft well at all. We've been in contact with KQ6XA on QRZ and in addition to the
Leaky Feeder antenna system, she says "In caves, I found that 2 watts at 7 MHz or 3.9 MHz SSB, with small whip antennas, will go through about a quarter mile to a half-mile of solid rock. Further if one station uses a longer antenna." We'll be seeing if we cabn test this on our return trip to Reward in May this year. We'll keep you posted.
