A distance of 2 740 km.
The QSO was on 145,500 MHz FM using a vertically polarised antenna between Garry Mercury, ZD7GWM and Kobus ZS3JPY and Michelle ZS3TO van der Merwe in Kleinzee as well as Cobus van Baalen, ZS3CVB in Port Nolloth.
They did try a QSO on 70 cm, but the signals did not provide for a successful QSO. They will try again on 8 November.
