 EI3KD works Cape Verde Islands on 144 MHz to set new DX record

On Sunday the 5th of August 2018, *Mark Turner EI3KD* managed to work *D4Z* on
the Cape Verde Islands off the coast of of Africa on 144 MHz, a distance of
some 4163 kms. This remarkable contact, made on CW, was a new record for
tropo in IARU Region 1. The previous record of 4130 kms was set back in
July of 2015.

The contact was made on 144.300 MHz at about 18:26 UTC at a time when the
band was also open to the Canary Islands from the south of Ireland and the
UK.

Just to give an idea of just how far the new record is, if the same
distance of 4163 kms was measured west of EI3KD's location in Ireland then
it would reach as far as Nova Scotia in Canada!
