YB Land DX Club DX-ing Is Our Life
Over the last week, there has been some remarkable conditions on the VHF bands allowing lots of DX contacts across Europe. While this is in itself nothing new, it has coincided with a sea duct running down as far as the west coast of Africa.
On the 28th of December, a new IARU Region-1 tropo record for 144 MHz was set when Ian, GM3SEK managed to work D41CV, a distance of some 4,565kms.
On the 1st of January 2020, the New Year was hardly a few hours old when Callum, GM0EWX on the Isle of Skye in the west of Scotland managed to work D41CV on FT8. This now extends the IARU Region-1 144 MHz tropo record to an amazing 4,776kms.
