Absolutely!
I have a group of local friends that enjoy finding me in different
grids, but are "anti-contesters"..... Even though some of them have SSB
capabilities, we often make our contacts on FM simplex. One of them
runs a pair of CC 13B2's at 70' and 100 watts out. We can make some
pretty long distance contacts.
