All,

Club Godfather Jerry Keisler (WA5KZA) followed up to me with an email and raw data table.  I took that and produced the detail below.

ARES 2-Meter Simplex Test Results – November 15, 2021

We ran a practical simplex test — here are the visual results!

Key Takeaways:

Higher antennas + ~50W = strong full-quieting signals for most.
Low power struggled more.
Even mobile/low setups did surprisingly well.
Full data attached as spreadsheet (link here).

I am thinking we repeat this at some point and use Meshtastic in the next round.  What do you think?
