Video of 1st UK 241 GHz ham radio contact

The UK's first 241 GHz amateur radio contact took place near Brentwood
in Essex on February 19, 2016

This video is of the first UK QSO that took place on 19-Feb, 2016
15:00z on the 241GHz (1.2mm) band between Roger G8CUB/P and Chris
G0FDZ/P in locator square JO01EP, in Essex.

The distance was 30 metres and the CW signals were 559 and 589. With
signal to spare both ways an attempt was made to increase the distance
to over 50m but with deteriorating weather likely, a decision was
taken to limit to 30m as antenna alignment was taking a very long time
to achieve
