Australian 70cms digital record extended to 2806 kms! Early on the morning of the 5th of December 2019, there was a remarkable tropo contact between Leigh, VK2KRR and Peter, VK6KXW on 70cms across the Australian continent. The distance was 2,806 kms and crossed over the Great Australian Bight, a part of the ocean well noted for tropospheric ducting. This was a new record for a digital contact on 432 MHz as both stations were using the FT8 mode.
