#HamTalk Q5. What’s the furthest two-way communication you’ve experienced on UHF/VHF? What helped you to achieve this distance?

A5 - 2100+ km on 144 MHz SSB. BIG Sporadic E opening in 2010. Amazing conditions. 144 was busy, but 50 MHz sounded like 20. Pre-FT8 days, so most QSOs were SSB (mine were) or CW. Expect that there were other Joe Taylor modes in use, too, but then they were still "niche" (MSK144, etc).

More 2 meter band opening let us listen to #KB8EOC (the "Tiffin repeater") here in Ann Arbor until about 810a local time, and then that interference on 145.15- #N8DUY disappeared on our morning roundtable.

Some question about the impact of wildfires on VHF propagation.

The "Tiffin repeater" is Bascom, OH, Seneca County, #KB8EOC . 145.15- with a 107.2 PL

Listening now on #Broadcastify

https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/25158

Bob #WD8PIC is about half way between this repeater and Ann Arbor's #N8DUY and he can check in to both depending on how he sets PL.

fun with #vhfdx

aprs.fi – live APRS map

@ve3qbz @W8HF

Yes, a lot like that from a map perspective.

From an API perspective, I'm not quite sure what the right approach is. The simplest might be "log if your favorite iGate has a long hop on APRS".

I did look at https://aprs.fi specifically the iGate that Nick #W8XM runs

https://aprs.fi/info/a/W8XM-11

and found an APRS tx/rx pair to #K8YSE

https://aprs.fi/info/a/K8YSE-1

Ann Arbor, MI to N Royalton OH is 118 miles, not bad, logged at 7:52 Eastern 2023-05-21 (sunrise 6:11).

Inconclusive, but I think there was a 2 meter band opening between Michigan and Ohio this am based on the indistinct sounds I heard on 145.15-.

There must be something that monitors this, maybe using APRS reception? Thinking that @W8HF might have some ideas.

Ideally I would pull in data into Home Assistant, like the Aurora integration that tracks solar weather.

Just scored a nice #hamradio contact with Rob VK1KW in Canberra, 211km contact, well beyond the 80km horizon limit. There's a 1000m/3000ft mountain between us so we need either tropospheric ducting or aircraft scatter to make the contact. No tropo today, fast signal fading, so today was aricraft bounce. #VHFDX
