144 MHz Trans-Atlantic path opens again - Sat 29th June 2019

On the 16th of June 2019, the Atlantic was spanned for the first time on 144 MHz when D41CV on Cape Verde Islands off the coast of Africa managed to work FG8OJ in Guadeloupe using the FT8 digital mode. Amazingly, that particular opening lasted for the best part of five days.

After a respite of about a week, the trans-Atlantic path has opened up again on 144 MHz.
