ARLA/CLUSTER: Modo digital FT-8 bate recorde australiano de máxima distancia na banda de 70 cm (432 MHz)

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Australian 70cms digital record extended to 2806 kms!

Early on the morning of the 5th of December 2019, there was a
remarkable tropo contact between Leigh, VK2KRR and Peter, VK6KXW on
70cms across the Australian continent. The distance was 2,806 kms and
crossed over the Great Australian Bight, a part of the ocean well
noted for tropospheric ducting.

This was a new record for a digital contact on 432 MHz as both
stations were using the FT8 mode.
