VHF Band Opening Tonight

Just talked to a station in Morriston, FL on 2 meters simplex. That's about 212 air miles. Not too bad. Very clear and strong signal. Robert-KJ4HAL clued me in so I tuned up to 146.450 Simplex and had a short QSO with Dave-KD4CMV. Don't you just love the physics involved in this hobby?!
