First TEP contact at 144 MHz made from Mauritius - 9th Apr 2024


On the 9th of April 2024, 3B8FA in Mauritius made the first Trans-Equatorial Propagation (TEP) contact on the 144 MHz band from that country when he completed a contact with A65BR in the UAE. As the screen grab shows above, there was also a path to A71XX in Qatar.

This screen capture below from Oleg, A65BR shows the contact on the Q65 mode.


FR4OO on Reunion Island also had the same TEP as the previous day to A65BR, A71XX and 9K2GS.


Just to keep the report as complete as possible, there was also a path from FR5DN to Qatar...


Looking at the maps, there is almost certainly a TEP path from Madagascar (5R) north to Kuwait but it just needs someone to be active from that country.
