Two of us in Ireland made contact with several guys near Manchester on Sunday night during lift conditions.
172 miles from the Irish coast just north of Dublin to Max near Staleybridge. He was also talking to someone in Belfast which would have been even further.

We were both using yagis on this side, but close to sea level by the coast.
