FT8 2 metre record

Unread post by sidspop »

Anybody know what distance record is for a confirmed contact on 2 metres on FT8?

Asking for a mate, who had a contact (unconfirmed) that he does not believe can have taken place.

Thanks,
If that is current record then he has beaten it.
Awaiting email confirmation from the other station.

That'll be good news. When he gets confirmation get him to send it to RSGB to update the records.

Unless there has been another claim since that was published on 3rd January 2020, he's in with a shout of the record.

Waiting the confirmation, as I said, as he finds it unbelievable, as do I.
Would be nice, it's in excess of 6,000km.
