[João Costa > CT1FBF]

LY2YR completes contact with S50B for another first on the new 40 MHz band

At the end of April 2020, *LY2YR* in Lithuania made a contact with EI4GNB
in Ireland for the first LY-EI QSO on the new 40 MHz amateur band.

Gintas, LY2YR achieved another first on the 13th of June when he worked
Borut, S50B in Slovenia using the FT8, FT4 and CW modes. The frequency used
was 40.680 MHz which is in the middle of the ISM (Industrial, Scientific,
Medical) band.

Even though the ISM band of 40.660 MHz to 40.700 MHz has been allocated for
beacons in Slovenia since 1998, it was only this year that the licencing
authority there clarified that radio amateurs could make contacts as well.

The contact between LY2YR and S50B was approximately 1270 kms and the
propagation mode was Sporadic-E. Even though the distance is pretty normal
for Sporadic-E, there were some difficulties due to some 1000-metre high
mountains just a few kms from S50B's location.

LY2YR also completed an FT8 contact with S50TG, the 17-year old son of S50B.
