Petr, OK1FIG > Hello Petr, As far as I know is the current distance record between OH1TN (KP11OO) and IK5ZPV (JN53KX) or I5MXX (JN53JU), so 2122km or 2137km (normal CW). A brief look on the map shows that from the very eastern part of OM to EI0CF may be just a few km more, the UK is in the range of 1800 to 2000km. Maybe better would be the very western part of OM, this would give you the possibility to work much more stations (I'm interested in working OM). 73, Rik ON7YD
