I got one second hand and was amazed how far I could work on a very basic antenna. Prior to getting my Liner-2, I had only used QRP AM and FM rigs. Most nights I found I could contact stations hundreds of kilometres away.
Later many used the ICOM IC-202 with a 30W amplifier and Tonna 9 el antenna.
These days the bands at VHF are far quieter as people have other ways of chatting (the internet) and working DX (FT8).

Hi Roger, I used to have one of those. It had a spurious on a repeater input frequency whenever I used the ssb calling channel and I had to get rid of it after an irate amateur turned up at my house to complain!
