Personally I find it very satisfying to get long near-line-of-site performance in VHF and up. That could be reaching a repeater 100+ miles away on two meters with a handheld and a tape measure yagi

I've wondered if it'd be legal to just chuck a couple into some random trees.
What do you need 200 miles of range for?
