On Thursday the 2nd of July 2020, there was another remarkable opening on 144 MHz between Cape Verde Islands off the west coast of Africa and Italy, Slovenia & Croatia.
This isn’t the first time that this has happened but any terrestrial opening on 144 MHz which reaches 5000kms or more is always special
This edited list shows the stations that heard by D4VHF in Cape Verde. It also lists those hearing D4VHF on FT8 but not weren’t heard by them (in order of distance)…
