Hello LF Group,

What do you think ?<

... whatever way we consider this QSO, 2-way,  3-way or not valid at all
... I definetely believe that late Peter Bobek, DJ8WL would have loved that
pioneering achievement and would have recognized it as what it is: a great
way on how to perform one of the silliest challenges ham-radio can have (it
is even difficult to explain this to non-LF hams), passing information over
the Atlantic using LF.

Peter would also like the idea that a lot of the Transatlantic successes
were performed in the same way as his first attempts to cross the channel a
couple of years back: using extremely slow CW with dot-length way over 60
seconds. I remember quite well the excitement of when I was able to see his
DA0LF signal over the remarkable distance of 284 km as a thin line on
FFTDSP in early 1997. We have come a long way in the meantime ...

Congrats on what has been achieved!

Best 73

Geri, DK8KW (W1KW)
