It may have been you vkrules, I just don't remember the numbers. The name Brisbane stuck though!!

 

[vkrules]

Could have been.I'm on now but it's all west coast US. Hang On someones in Florida. I'm hearing Florida though the noise.

 

[vkrules]

Thought is was you .was the 822 Palm beach.

My best contact was on 35lsb from Beeville, Tx to Sydney, Australia about 8000 miles with a little Magnum s45 and a Predator 10k antenna. We had couple of minutes of talk then the moment was gone. I have only made one very short contact to Australia since then. I have made contacts all over the US and Canada with just a few watts.

San Jose CA to Adelaide Australia (that is on Australia's southwest Coast - BTW) via longpath on 27.385mhz/LSB (~13k+ miles) with a 4 element Yagi beam and barefoot CB radio. Yes; it can be done . . .

Hey Robb - Adelaide is quite a way from Oz's "southwest coast". About 1500 miles. You want the southwest coast of Australia, that would be Perth.

I think you mean that Tropospheric Ducting does not occur at HF.

"Ground wave" doesn't occur much above 3 MHz. And if you aren't using a vertically-polarized antenna you won't be experiencing much "ground wave".

Don't confuse it with "sky wave" -- two different things.

 

[222DBFL]

Can't hear too many of you guys but I did talk to a bunch of them out of NJ, NY, Conn., and a few others. I was down at the intercostal waterway and contacts are easy for me to make!! Salt water is Mother Nature's ground plane to up north for me!

Yup; you are right Beetle! It was Perth.

[CowboyCody]

ND to Aruba my first contact outside the US, somewhere just over 3000m I think. Imax2000 @13' with about 280w.

 

[Shockwave]

While not the furthest contact I've made, rare backscatter propagation has made a CT to CA conversation one of the most interesting. From Connecticut I point my antenna almost due south into Barbados and everything from Texas to California is workable. These signals are completely lost when pointing the antenna towards the direction the signals originate from. Signs of this type of propagation are that the signal contains excessive phase shift accompanied by lots of distortion as a result of the longer path.
