    Hi Jack…

    Very nice demonstration and video. We now have the Miracle Ducker IL that’s designed for hand-helds.

    Thanks for this – Robert Victor VA2ERY

    I am looking at putting together a disaster kit – being the anniversary of the Loma Prieta quake.
    If two people had this setup, what would the range be? Five miles?
    Would something portable like this be plausible for communicating with the outside world?
