    I got an amazing 17 miles out of one of those Radio Shack gutter
    mount antennas once.  Of course, I was talking to a base station
    that was using a mast-mounted ground plane, but considering it
    was on Channel 19, I was pretty impressed.  Another time I got
    25 miles mobile-to-mobile with a longer magnetic-mount.  That
    time I was considerably out in the boonies and the channel was
    much quieter.
