Personal best thus far
Did 7 miles with circular antenna, pretty happy so far, shooting for 11-11.5 miles next. A couple pics of antenna mast and base.

Sky Surfers
Here's 2 of 3 Sky Surfers I own. One has 2.4GHz video, the other has 1.3GHz. The third unbuilt unit will likely run 900MHz or maybe 5.8GHz as I've seen a few people getting decent range with it lately. I used a simple design, cam and transmitter up front with easy to change antennas for testing. Forgive the dipole on the 1280 rig, function before fashion!
