What's the longest you've ever talked over the radio?

Contests .....

Between nets and contests I can go from dawn to dark A mix of SSB and FM.

 

i'd say about an hour. but like you, any lengthened conversation has moved to SSB if both of us are able.

 

i am on the raido for about a hour each, on the weekends talking to locals. one night i talked to a guy for 4 hours about hunting spots, fishing, trucks & cars, guns & bows, military and women. I half to aggree about sideband we did not have everybody butt in with the peanut gallery.

when its time for a converstation go sideband.

yea what he said n3idg

 

I think he was asking about distance.

Turbo-T : From truck to truck I have had many conversations over 40 miles

From truck to base, maybe 75 or so.

DX: No tellin, I've communicated to Jamacia, Brasil, Texas to Cali, Texas to Florida, etc.

Barefoot cobra 29 - 5-10 miles

 

When we have our nets on Sunday my first is at 8AM ( 20 meters SSB ) and the last at 9PM ( 2 meter SSB )
If things are rocking and rolling I have stayed on the radio HOURS at a time .... The nets run on 10 12 and 6 meters in the day when the bands are open which right now they are not ....

 

A couple hours I guess when I had an HF rig set up at the house..

 

Sorry, I saw what I put in bold and assumed thats what you were talking about.

Time wise, I've talked from Texas to New Jersey with a fella for hours upon hours.
