First 146.5 MHz DX QSO listed in Known DATV DX Records

Post by KenW6HHC » Tue Jan 13, 2015 11:59 pm

Last Sunday, Rob M0DTS and Terry G1LPS successfully completed their first two-way DATV QSO on the new UK temporary spectrum allocation on 2M using very low Symbol Rate DVB-S. This 28 KM distance is the longest 2M DATV QSO that I know of on this new spectrum.
Experimental-DATV-Express transmitters and Tutioune receivers were used at both ends.

I have added this 2M QSO at very bottom of an updated KNOWN DATV DX RECORDS table (see below). Please let me know if you learn of longer 2M DATV QSOs.

Hi Rob M0DTS,

Thanks for pointing out that French DVB-S one-way QSO back in 2011 on 145.0 MHz. I had overlooked that one.

I have added the French QSO in an updated "Known DATV DX Records" table in this thread...under 144 MHz category.
