4800km+ opening on the Band 2 VHF band between Chile and Columbia - Sept 2021


In some recent posts, I noted how there was openings on 144 MHz between the Caribbean and Brazil via TEP - Trans-Equatorial Propagation. The distances were in the region of 4600kms.

As can be seen from the graphic above, there was also an interesting TEP opening further west with Band 2 FM signals at 102.7 MHz in the north of Columbia being heard in Chile in early September, a distance of just over 4800kms.

The recording below is from Felip, CE3SAD in Chile who is an avid FM DX-er.

Amazing reception on the commercial FM VHF radio band too bad we never seem to get TEP this high in frequency in Florida though I remember hearing CE3SAD on TEP back in 2001 and 2003 and working LU5VV on 50 mhz .
