On June 8th two way 10.4 gHz FM ATV was swapped between Art McBride, KC6UQH at Gaviota Pass (north of Santa Barbara CA) and Ray Clancy, N6RE at Torry Pines (near San Diego CA) for a DX of 204.4 miles. Power output was about +28 dBm with modified Qualcomm Omni-Tracks and 3 ft dishes using right hand circular polarization. Altitudes were about 200 ft sea level during this evening over water duct.
I would like to start keeping a record of ATV DX on the different bands. If anyone believes they may have a record, please email me the details. These can be one way or two way, AM or FM and fast scan only. A valid picture is one where the call letters or other lettering can be read.
