Hi I can receive consistently 250 - 300 nmiles, but only in some directions, across water mainly.
I use a homemade vertical colinear with 10 mtrs of LDF50 Heliax - no preamp.

Hi

I receive around 220nm in the east and west direction, in the north and south around 170nm.
I have an external WiMo GP-1090 (~10m over the ground) with a pre-amp.
