For you kayakers out there that are still trying to get more range from your HT's, here is an antenna that could be made to work on the marine freqs, and pack down to almost nothing. Each year in CO several HAMS, that also climb mountains, go up on the 14,000' peaks of CO and see where all they can talk. This is just one types of antennas that is taken.

One thing is for sure.., you will not need ANY kind of heart monitor to see if yours is pumping fast enough, if you try. <G> ...and I thought you had a K-lite...
